Patina

Patina

As I mature, so to speak, I become more and more attracted to the beauty of Nature's offspring in decline.

This thistle is another rework from the archives.

  Yeah, I can relate. Good idea calling it patina instead of old age. LOL

  Really really like this Michelle, enjoyed your words! We sure look at things in a different way as we get older, and I think being photographers, we are even more aware of this.

  And you've showcased these fascinating plants on the decline so well, Michelle. May we keep ourselves as interesting as this.

  "For the unlearned, old age is winter; for the learned, it is the season of the harvest."
--Hasidic saying

"Harvest" away, Michelle - your patina glows with not only the passion and skill of your photographic enthusiasm but for life itself....apparent in every photograph and every commentary.

Add another fave!

  I think the older we get and know that our time is limited, we have a desire to find the beauty in all things. Even this weed has a beauty that is to be enjoyed. A beautiful look at its features Michelle.

  Agree the older we get the more beauty we see in everything. That is one of the reasons I like photography we get to see the world in a different way by slowing down and really seeing.
