My archives are full of options for this theme, primarily old buildings that have deteriorated over time and man-made objects neglected and bequeathed to the elements to consume. However, today I took several photographs of flowers at a property that is being prepared for the housing market. While I was going through what I captured, these roses immediately made me think of “It Happens Over Time”. All the stages of the rose’s life are caught in a single shot, from bud to bloom to rose hip. And of course, I had to play a little. So, I’m including the original as well as the copy I fooled around with.

I had just taken the photo which meant no hours spent looking through all the archives and trying to make a choice. 🙂

Who doesn’t like roses? I can think of not one person. Both photos are beautiful but I am leaning towards the softness of the processed one.

Thanks, Mary Nell. I have about 4 copies of this photo now…the original and 3 I played with.

I love roses, too, Patricia, but they’re a lot of work.
