Essence of yesterday

Essence of yesterday

Uploaded: June 24, 2012

Description

Looking closely at these freshly purchased flowers, I found that they were nearing the end of their freshness. Small signs of age were showing up in their petals, but their beauty still remained - the essence of yesterday's flowers.

I love the theme and the whole jest as to what you are doing here. You are so right girl, they may be showing age, but oh they are still so beautiful. The colors are gorgeous as is the details. Your setup deserves some credit to with using that patterned lace for a backdrop. Your strive for perfection payed off big time my friend. #10199933
