I love how this rose has a delicate pink tinge, just barely visible.
It’s not a perfect specimen as some of the petals have a bit of damage, but that only proves that beauty is not necessarily perfection nor vice versa.
One of the things I love about the natural world is its lack of judgement. You just are what you are.
Happy Tuesday.

The natural world and Popeye have the same disposition. 🙂

Very true. And it’s often the imperfections in nature that creates beauty.

I agree. We humans are often so busy looking for it that we can miss the important stuff.

The buds on that plant actually look pink but that dissipates as they unfold. I agree, Allan. Roses are always beautiful. Cheers.

I was about to push back on “It’s not a perfect specimen” when you did it yourself. Imperfect is also beautiful.

It sure is. I think we humans spend too much time on the hunt for our individual ideas of perfection.

One thing I learned in a painting class is that it’s good to put in the wilting leaves as well as the perfect ones. At least – that works for me, a realist.

I am a realist as well and I agree completely. I usually post my photos as they are; I used to play around with editing but not much any more.

Beauty. Nature never pretends its something other than what its been designed to be.

I agree, Lori. Nature is very tough, even tragic, but never judgemental or fraudulent.

Thank you very much, Carol. 🙂 We humans are often so terribly judgemental and it can cause such suffering. I don’t really know what beauty is, but I do know that it’s not perfection. Cheers.
