Aging

A single flower in focus, but not yet a flower. A bud close to the ground that's slowly creeping out from the weeds and fellow clovers. Purple hues coming from the ends, as if ready to bloom for incoming spring. Another soon to bloom flower closer to the camera, out of focus.

Aging. A cycle all living organisms will endure throughout their time on earth. Everyone and everything has it’s time period, always focusing on the present and what the future will be, until their last leaf falls. But what about the beginning of it all? The beginning of one’s life, like this little bud that’s getting ready to grow, soon to bloom into a beautiful flower. I believe part of it’s beauty, is hidden within the bud itself, showing the origins of something.
