This is a drying protea flower, and I was taken with how the petals peel back as the flower loses moisture.

I think I have developed an affection for dying flowers. Some are quite beautiful, and there is something lovely about how people tend to keep an arrangement around for several days after it's lost it's vigor.

I am taking the rest of the day off to regroup and perhaps clean my apartment and *maybe* watch The Way We Were.
