Faded Glory

Revisiting past images

I have been happy with the results of my recent floral images of subjects past their prime. I looked into my previous posts and found quite a few more beauties I wanted to revisit. I’m also working to add a gallery to this blog’s home page for Faded Glory. Here are a few I found from 2016 & 2019…

After The Frost

Posted by Mike on

Columbus Botanical Garden

We had our first frost this past week. Still not a fan of the cold but the temps eventually got up close to 50 degrees so I shouldn’t complain. We are back to mid 70’s this week and should hit low 80 by Thursday. Mornings will be a little on the cool side but I can live with that…

Although I know the botanical garden is preparing for the holiday event I stopped over Sunday to see how the few remaining flowers handled the frost. Not great, but it is to be expected. It works for me though because I think there is a different beauty in a flower past its prime. What do you think?
