Beguiling pearls of wit, wisdom, and whimsy-with attitude

The Senescence of a Rose

Posted on October 30, 2015 by Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud

And yes, you can infer by this that I’m also facetiously and metaphorically referring to myself.

My camera’s eye followed this beautiful rose’s life on a newly transplanted bush from conception to senectitude (my new fave word.)

As the petals were soon to loosen, wrinkle, fade, and drop, the next gen formed.

The story of Princess Rosebud.

SIGH.

Roses are beautiful even as they age, just as in our own way, we all are. Love the picture and the word. 🙂
