I really wanted to take a picture of this flower now that it's in the last stages of its life. I kind of like the poetry attached to this dying flower- the end of beauty, etcetc. It's also interesting for me, as someone who sort of identified with this flower (for whatever reason), to remember that things in our life can come and go so quickly.

I know I'm getting really philosophical, but this shot actually means a lot to me. And I think it's important to respect and recognize (for their own beauty and worth), things in all stages of their lives.

Okay, end of rant.
