Death of a Flower

The challenge now over at Weekly Theme Challenge was "Death of a Flower". For some dumb reason I never thought to look at the flowers this time of year. I was greatly surprised at the number of photos I was able to get.

These two are my favorites. I found the first one in Karen's front yard. Not sure what it is but it had that classic dried flower feel.

Then my clematis blooms are going to seed. I was fascinated by the soft texture it created. I had loads of fun playing with this image trying to emphasis the softness.

The hydrangeas are another favorite of mine and I did find some beautiful bunches. They just didn't stand up to the texture the other two possessed.

The Motion Blur challenge is up today. Can't wait to start on the new challenge!
