14/366: Life is fragile

14/366: 2015

 

I bought these flowers at the weekend with the intention of using them for a few photos. Tulips never last long, they start to go leggy and droopy and then lose their petals. This made me think of the title life is fragile but also because we have lost two of our stars* this week. As everyone knows, David Bowie lost his battle with cancer at the age of 69, earlier this week. I have just heard that the British actor Alan Rickman has also lost his battle with cancer, he was 69 too. Two very different but influential men.

 

*Stars is not a word I generally use for singers, actors or generally for people in the public eye, I think it's a word people use too lightly but I really feel these two men shone out and brightened a lot of peoples lives. They will both be greatly missed. RIP
