Faded Beauty by fbailey

Faded Beauty

All that remains of a peony, reluctant to relinquish her looks. The petals looks soft and delicate but surprisingly the sun has dried them out and the whole flower head is stiff to the touch.
Like a cool looking fabric. It wilted gorgeously!

It looks like faded Victorian silk. Beautiful. Amazing that the sun has dried it so well.

@ivan Just thinking about you and Tina, Ivan - the Battle of Britain site at Capel has a memorial day on 1 July starting at 1030 am. Details are on their website Just thought it may be of interest to you if you don't already have plans. Lots of things going on there.

@fbailey Thank you very much for thinking of us...I'll have a look (World Cup may be an influence, and heat and distance. :) )

@fbailey I've had a quick look...time may be a factor for personal reasons. Maybe a visit on a 'normal' day would suit us best. I'll talk with Tna. Thanks again.

It DOES look like fabric, coloured muslin perhaps. It's very pretty

All those creases in the petals - reminds me of my face!

Drooping layers of such nice tones - it still has such beauty.

Well spotted FB, when I first saw this shot I thought it was ice cream or the like.
