Lovely images, Cee. And as sad as the dead daisy may be, it did give me a smile – not what I expected at all!
This is not normally a topic for me, But I really enjoyed it – so thanks for the theme.

I usually don’t take dead flowers, I don’t see the beauty, but I knew this challenge was coming up soon. 😀 😀 Although I know a lot of photographers who see the beauty in dead or aging flowers and I can see it in their photos.

I don’t usually do it either but as I was lucky enough to have access to a bunch of dead and dying flowers it was a good opportunity to try.
