Superhero...

This image of the last petal on the rose reminds me of a proud superhero standing with his cape blowing in the wind….. But I don’t believe in caped superheroes anymore…Just real and ordinary people who prove to be extraordinary.

    Hi Basia, meant to comment on this before. I think this is beautiful and the textured background really sets it off. Love the focus on the stamens and your title is just wonderful. What a terrific imagination you have. Love it!

    Such a beautiful, charming, and glorious perspective on a flower’s last days….how honoring and fabulous: a superhero with a cape blowing in the wind! Magical and transformative!
    The accompanying description about what the adult sees as “extraordinary” is a necessary element. All to the end that vision and values are held precious.
    Thank you for the joyful reminder.
    Blessings.

    great shot.
    Ahh about caped heroes… how i remember the days we just had to read the comic books.
    Somehow, imagination was more tickled than modern days super heroe movies.
    You had more to think about and create your own story while now it’s just sit and absorb.
    Am I getting a grumpy old mid life crisis guy?

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Thanks Henk! Nah,, I don’t think grumpy, just stating a fact which I agree with.. I guess I don’t really watch those movies so my imagination is still with me :o)

    I wear a cape sometimes
    but have to agree it is often the one without capes doing the hard yards
    i think preserving your imagination and sense of play is an important gift to your children
    the world is far to serious a lot of the time
    great work
