Beauty in Death
Beauty in Death
Still Looking So Dignified
I have a tiny rose bush near my front door. I walk right past it every time I go out or come home. It has never really been taken care of, but still usually manages a bloom or two at a time. In my mind, it seems to try so very hard. That little bush fights on year after year, but never gives up.
The dead bloom has been hanging on the stem throughout the fall. To me its still has a beauty, albeit faded.
Yes, a Faded Rose
In my mind, it has a beauty all its own.
There is a certain beauty in decay.
Thanks for stopping by!

It's so true! I am not sure when I decided that this was true, but, probably when I started taking pictures. The beauty is so much more subtle, sometimes stronger.
There is always beauty in the demise of things.
Thank you for the lovely post to remind to remember beauty in all forms, not just the obvious.
Upped and Steemed Tip!
In today's world anything that isn't new is so easily passed over or discarded. I find value in those castoffs. Im old but still have a little life left in me....especially on my keto plan ;)
Your pictures always show us beauty, as does your kind and caring personality. You are all that....and more!!!
Blush You are on a roll today!
Nice title
A girl takes a nap and you think she's died ... lol. Don't bury dear Rose yet. Loves those photos and dare I say, your words are poetic:):):)

A conceptual contradiction crushed by a single real image.

So the rocks in my head are good for something after all?!
Cheers brother!

Beauty at any age!
Yes!!!! Upped
There is a certain beauty in decay. I'd say the same for that .gif of yours, but that's just silly.
Your posts are making me excited for spring. I can't wait for beautiful plants again.
LOL my gif is 100% silly!
Think Spring! Upped.
I have a rose bush in my backyard. It just looks like a regular old bush with no flowers on it most of the time. However, about once a year for two weeks or a month a single rose will bloom strong and true.
I really love that rose and if I ever move out of this house I will remember that rose and what it stands for. Strength in the face of emptiness.
Yes! They are amazing like that. Well put. Too bad you couldnt take it with you... Upped.
In it's death, it holds the seeds of rebirth. Everything has it's season. We are all just merely passing through. Stop and smell the roses is good advice.
Very true. Life is so short when you think about it. We need to appreciate it more I think.
Nature can captivate us in it's births and it's deaths... The process holds an amazing beauty to it; and to think we are all a part of that process :)
It is a beautiful thing this thing which we call life.
Absolutely :-)
