flowers...

the seed head of a painted daisy in late day sun...
the petals are gone, but the beauty remains...

my gerber daisy sprouted another bloom :)
she's not quite ready to show her face...
 
my begonia drops it petals in a messy pile on the floor,
and I went to clean them up and toss them out.
as I scooped them up, I realized that,
like the painted daisy in the first image above,
a flower past its prime is still beautiful.
these petals looked like fairies or butterflies
and had the same mystical magic...
 
 
 
all of the images were enhanced with combinations of snapseed,
actions from pioneer woman,
and the gerber daisy has textures from kim klassen.
