Bold Defiance

Stripped of their color and seeds, these once colorful sunflowers stand but a shadow of their one time beauty on a frosty early November morning.

 

When I looked at this photo, I thought of a favorite song.

"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas

I close my eyes

Only for a moment, then the moment's gone

All my dreams

Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind

All they are is dust in the wind

 

Same old song

Just a drop of water in an endless sea

All we do

Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind, ohh

 

Now, don't hang on

Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky

It slips away

And all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind

 

Dust in the wind

Everything is dust in the wind

Everything is dust in the wind

The wind

The Picture This! assignment for this week was "naked" Since I doubt anyone would be interested in seeing my photo naked, that left me to try to figure out what I can find to fit the topic. This is what I found. Sometimes, I think simpler is better. The presentation here was something that came to me as I was posting it. I thought it would make kind of a nice presentation. I doubt that I could come up with something like this each time but this time it just seemed to work.
