Beautiful in Death 3

‘Invasion’ tulips doing the dance of death on my porch

 

There are many kinds of death.

 

 

Flamboyant – -

 Curious, with connections still unmade

 Blazing in glory:

 …and  letting the dying embers glow:

It can be simple, almost innocent

…or replete with the fulfillment of a life well lived, a legacy left.

And sometimes, in the face of death, life becomes transparent.

I love a dramatic scene and this post is most definitely one. The last, ‘transparent’ one – wow! There is indeed beauty in the Death of growing things if we value them enough. The life span of a plant reminds us of our own mortality in a nutshell, a fact against which all art has been produced.
