Who says only fresh flowers are beautiful?

Whilst hunting around yesterday for something to trigger my creative juices, I found these dried but beautiful roses and in the golden evening sunlight couldn't resist shooting them.

There's something beautiful, nostalgic and delicate about dried flowers that I just love. Nothing beats the look and scent of fresh roses.. but I just love the way their delicate features and petals remain so beautifully formed despite the faded colours.

I suppose they remind me of the fragility and beauty of life itself.
