Frazzled...

Our Zinnias are ending their blooming season, but many "hold on" even as they dry up and fade away!

Terrific shapes.

Perfectly titled and well captured to make it very interesting. I like the purple background.

The petals do stay if they haven't been pulled by a bird.

I love faded flowers. They hold such beauty.

@ljmanning Thank you, Laura!

@taffy Thanks so much, Taffy! I liked the purple, as well. Honestly, looking at what is behind, I was surprised it had such a wonderful purple hue!

@randystreat Our birds don't seem to bother the Zinnias much. They go for the tomatoes! :- )

[GaryW]

@gaf005 Thank you, George! I agree.

[GaryW]

@cwbill Thanks, Bill!

[GaryW]

@dboelter Thank you!

[GaryW]

@ingrid01 Thanks, Ingrid! I certainly think so.

[Kate]

Do you save the dried up flowers to plant for next season?

[GaryW]

@k9photo We have saved some, yes. We have done this in the past with mixed success.
