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!!!

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.

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.

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 :)

I wish our Christmas Cactus had such beauty when it was not blooming. Sadly it is just ugly for a few years at a time till it decides to bloom. Then it blooms for a week or two and back to being just leaves.
That rose has really splendid hue of pale yellow-orange with a touch of pink to it.

He is very beautiful in his natural beauty. All these three States have their own appeal and beauty. As in the man. There is beauty and splendour of youth. The beauty of adulthood, with its first wrinkles. And there is beauty in old age. Wisdom that comes from the inside and pours out in the eyes.
