beauty remains...

...in the death

and dying - of a simple tulip...

i think i've managed to capture all phases - aspects of the tulip - over the last little while... you're probably getting tired of seeing them - boo! i've been grateful to have them around as the weather has decided to have nature meltdowns - not knowing if it wanted to stay in the winterland - or come forth into spring... all the while - these many barometric changes wreak havoc with my head - causing me to suffer an increase with my headaches - an inability to cope sometimes - not get around as i'd like to - yet it's all good - when surrounded by a touch of nature indoors - to watch blossoms open - give forth such glory and wonder and joy - then descend into themselves - petals falling - shriveling -

in every stage of the flower blossom - there is a beauty all its own - a strength to behold - a power to glean from... we could learn much from this simple process of watching - observing - basking in every step of the way - knowing it all makes for...

a

happy day.....
