Death of a rose

Its such a shame roses only last a few days. But there is still beauty in this I think.

As shame, but it's still beautiful. Nice pic.

Since starting 365, I've found a new appreciation for dying flowers. I think they get more interesting as they dry up & curl. :)
Love the texture on the petals.

@humphreyhippo it was @mcdermgl who made me think of this one :)

Aw gee - there's something really sad about a wilting or dying flower. This one looks as if it hasn't really ever opened properly :(

They do stay beautiful from bud to ending.
