Passing Petals

Walking by I notice a bit of color on a green leaf, fallen petals from a wild geranium.

Most often I seek to photograph flowers in their prime, looking for those perfect specimens with beautifully shaped petals, full of color and life. But there is also plenty of beauty to be found in the latter stages of a flower’s existence, when its petals have faded, wilted, perhaps even fallen.

The season has passed, its time is done, a white trillium with wilted petals.
