roses never lasted so long

obviously I've always tossed them to become compost far too quickly ...

I'm so glad you saved them that fate, such a wonderful series you have here.

Wabi Sabi perfection ( think that's an oxymoron?!)

Great shot of the last remains of that beautiful rose.

Well captured rose at it's end. I have quite a few dried roses that instead of dying just dry off and preserve themselves. Great for photography.
