All the flowers are dying off now that the weather is getting colder. It's already getting harder to find things to photograph! There is talk of snow tonight!
There was frost on the car this morning!
fav .... love your focus, DOF, soft background colors ... makes me want to go back and look at my shots like this that I thought weren't good enough to post
Even though it's a fading flower, you've made a beautiful image with it. There's a theme on Instagram called "Lovely Dead Crap" (a title that makes me laugh every time I read it) with posts of dead plants that in all honesty are very pretty. This one would be a hit in that category.
