One of my daylilies towards the end of the day, when the petals have just started to dry out and curl. Fading gracefully. I've got more than 50 years under my belt and aim to get many more; we'll see how gracefully I manage it ;-)

I love flowers and daylilies are one of my all-time favorites, plus this one is purple, which is the best color ever! It's not representing my entire essence (couldn't think of anything that would, but then I'm somewhat, er, eclectic in my varied interests).

36mm + 20mm extension tubes, handheld, diffused flash.

PP - cropped, levels, increased saturation and contrast, resized, sharpened, added border.
