Flower Gifts

Isn't it interesting that most people think dropped petals and pollen dust are something that should immediately make its way to the trash can but photographers think of all the pictures they'll take of them? Flowers give us a subject no matter what phase they're in- little gifts that delight us with their details.

365 has made me so much more aware of every detail of flowers and their life cycle. This is a nice still life, I like it in B&W.

Just because something is old and withered doesn't make it less beautiful and interesting. Lines of age have huge stories to tell.
