[Peggy Sirk]

@sarasdadandmom Oh, wow ~ thanks for the fave, Terry!

[Sheri Peterson]

This is extremely beautiful Peggy, just like you!! I think that when flowers start to lose some of their oomph, they become more beautiful. The petals soften and gain a more vintage feel. I love how the petal are hanging down, and sort of beaten up. It accentuates the pretty middle. The colors are amazing too. Great shot my friend!!

Love the bug bites - really makes the shot different

[Lisabell]

I love that the blurred background is a different kind of flower. It really makes the coneflower stand out. And I also love your narrative.
