The very last of the lily stems given me a month ( a month!) ago . . .
This series was taken over the past three or four days . . .
She's beautiful, even in decline . . .
I think of the death of the swan in "Swan Lake". . .
Or an aged woman of whom they say - "You can tell she was a great beauty."
So graceful in decline . . .
Her fragile petals drooping . . .
She grows transparent, a ghost of what she was.

Kinda like me.
Exquisite, Vickie, I love this series!
Images and words.
What a beautiful sequence. Elegant in decline, indeed.
oh...what an elegant death she gave us...coming to rest as a ballerina....
I thought of you at once, Ms. A.
That's a lovely series! I cannot be around lilies due to allergies, but they are beautiful. I did watch my amaryllis die though, as long as I could stand it. It's such a good lesson in beauty changing
Exquisite ... may we all be so graceful as we age.
Growing old gracefully. I hope the heady scent lasted a month too.
Beautiful every step of the way.
I like the aging woman analogy. Like so many, she was a beauty.

This is a metaphor for my beautiful sister who dropped her last petal last December.
Lovely photographic essay.
