Fallen Blossoms

Our world is very beautiful while at the same time very cruel. Look at these short-lived blossoms, they are so beautiful but they have fallen.

Beautiful shot of fallen blossoms. It makes fall feel a little sad. :(

Perhaps the tree's highest moment is in the generosity of blooming, not the keeping, of these beautiful flowers.

I find the metal grille goes very well with your blog's name...

I wonder where you were to take this pic. Above the tree? ;)

Yeah, but even fallen, they make a beautiful display. This is a lovely shot, the sort of thing I'm always on the look out for, so great that you posted it for us all to see

I love this composition with the contrasting textures and tones. You have put it together so superbly, Amir! It is especially laudable that you spotted these beautiful pinks and greens on the background of this rich combination of brown tones – solid mature brown trunk, light brown soil, and beautifully patterned brown grating. It really is a sight to behold and ponder. I do feel the sense of sadness with you at the short-lived span of these beautiful blossoms. And the wider observation that you have drawn on the state of our world, beautiful yet with capacity for such cruelty, is spot-on, my friend. Thank you, so much, dear friend, for your deeper and brave views of life, and reminder of such realities, that help us to keep sober and keep endeavouring towards the right and true things in life.

The flowers may have fallen but not before allowing people to admire their beauty. The impression left will touch one forever.
