Faded Flowers

I was sitting in a chair in the back room when I looked closely at this vase of flowers.  It has b een sitting on this table for 4 or 5 days I think.  It was so nice when Kathy brought in some fresh flowers from the garden and put them in this vase.  I hadn't been paying much attention to them but I knew there were there and that they looked nice.  Until I looked the other day.  They have been fading for a couyple of days, I think and I noticed that.  But then I thought how beautiful these flowers are, even in decline.  I still think they are beautiful in this condition so I photographed them.  For you to see.
