I really wanted to try something new today, but it was just not happening.

That left wandering aimlessly around the house during nap time.

I came across this old rose, an old boutonniere from my sister's wedding. It's over a year old, so is her marriage. The rose is faded and crumbling, her marriage is still new and fresh. Time's a funny thing.

Very nice take!! Love it. :) Clarinetchick · 2010-11-08: 14:06

Very Interesting Shot. At first I was questioning, but reading the commentary it all made sense. Very nice. karmankwarner · 2010-11-08: 14:48

Great shot - I think it works really well in black & white. Jarvo · 2010-11-08: 21:00

very nicely detailed and composed. i like the position of the flower in the frame and how it fades away to nothing. time is a funny thing. ????? · 2010-11-09: 11:27
