a different kind of fall colors

i don’t think i have ever seen this before–the way the color has drained from these petals. at first i thought is was pollen dust staining the petals. i am not sure what meteorological conditions conspired to create it. but i am all in. i think it is beautiful. it looks like an unfinished painting to me.
