abstracts of a fading tulip

We bought some tulips over the weekend, and while they bloomed quickly, they began to fade just as fast. This photograph was an attempt to capture the flowers before they completely wilted.

This second photograph focuses on the same petal, the same curling edge, just with a slightly different interpretation. (Amazing – I just realized I spent 6 hours today contemplating this small detail of this flower!)
