The Beauty of the Rose

This is one of my photographs. It happens to have captured the rose in the right light. I knew a man once. That man was my father. He told me that in the complexities of the world we live in, it is the beauty of the rose that is the most flawless. Nature gives us so many wonders but each day we walk by them in favour of so many other aspects of life. Part of my world of photography is to capture nature. Even a thing of beauty will eventually die. This rose did. 

As roses go, I quite like this quote :-

“But he who dares not grasp the thorn 

Should never crave the rose.” 

― Anne Brontë
