Pastel Progression Pics Please :)

My pastel was soo bright when I first got him and now that he's almost a year, he's really browning out :( So we can just stop on this subject right now cause its making me even more depressed! :D

Thanks to all who contributed :) I think this thread has helped to give me a reasonable idea of what to expect with my pastel as far as browning out. I would love to see more actually, but maybe that is just me!

this is my new 3 month old pastel Trixie (pre shed)
