“Beauty's a doubtful good, a glass, a flower,
Lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour;
And beauty, blemish'd once, for ever's lost,
In spite of physic, painting, pain, and cost”
- William Shakespeare
"The flowers anew, returning seasons bring,
But faded beauty has no second spring”
- Ambrose Phillips

Another time it might have been so different
oh if only we could do it all again
but now it's just another fading memory
out of focus, though the outline still remains
Like the story that we wish was never ending
We know sometime we must reach the final page
still we carry on just pretending
that there'll always be one more day to go
Another chance hello, another goodbye
and so many things we'll never see again
days of life that seemed so unimportant
they seem to matter but to count much later on
Far away, away, fading distant lights
leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
and you know that these are the days of our lives
remember
Vienna. I came to Vienna searching for Beethoven and palaces. In most areas, the downtown is remarkably well preserved and maintained. It is only on some smaller side streets that a different part of Vienna reveals itself... a centuries old decay, a forgotten life.

Caught this at the absolute last moment for being pixel worthy, the heat was on the next day and I am sure by now it is crumpled up petals.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.

verblassende Erinnerungen
The wife of my best friend died early in this summer, and on the day she died I took a photo from this rose tree in my garden as a memory. I now found a photo from October from the last blossom of this tree..and I realize that the memory of my friend`s wife already started to fade a little bit...
Die Frau meines besten Freundes ist früh in diesem Sommer gestorben, und an ihrem Todestag habe ich als Erinnerung eine Blüte dieses Rosenstockes in meinem Garten fotografiert. Beim Stöbern habe ich jetzt ein Foto der letzten Blüte dieses Stockes gefunden..und ich merke, daß auch die Erinnerung an die Frau meines Freundes schon begonnen hat, ein wenig zu verblassen....
A worn chalk-hill Blue blending seamlessly with its perch. My walk that day was tinged with sadness for the Hatch hill season was on the wane and the Chalk hill blues were fading away. There is a poignant beauty in sadness like the background bokeh in this picture when matter softly dissolves into twilight.

AUTUMNAL COLLECTION (1) - (COLOUR) (see monotone version at www.flickr.com/photos/lorre_01/23301296836
On my birthday (21 November) I spent much of the day outdoors, foraging for and collecting natural materials in my garden and in the Charentaise countryside for some still-life photos I planned to do. Here is the first of them. One photo (in the high-key genre), taken today (26 November) at home and processed in two different formats in Adobe Lightroom 5: a coloured image and a B&W image to simulate an antique monotone print. This is the COLOUR version. The plants in the image include ivy in flower and berry, Teasel (Dipsacus), rose hips and the rapidly-fading autumnal flower-heads of hydrangea and rose.

As more, and more veterans from WWI, WWII, and Korea, pass away, it seems the collective national memory is in danger of fading also. Thanx to all veterans, who have served their countries. Special thanks to my dad (USAF Korean War), and my grandfather (USN WWII). And thanx to my nephew, Major Ben Schmidt, serving presently with the 3 PPCLI.

If yesterday's photo had been taken 70 years ago.
I was watching a film on Youtube. It had been taken on Kodak colour film in 1952 and the film colours had faded markedly. I have replicated the effect with this photo.
One of my lovely tulips literally falling apart on the window sill but still I love the look! Will replace them tomorrow but until them I will watch as the petals fall and litter the floor! Had a lovely day out to Ashridge Forest today in the sunshine. Didn't take many photos as I was with buddies - lots of silly pics of us jumping in the air and eating very large scones filled with cream - well, we had earned them...

Not too many flowers grow by the seashore. It's pretty rough faring for something so delicate, but these lovely, Lantana blooms were planted outside the public restrooms and picnic area of the Ponce Inlet Park. When I saw them, I couldn't resist taking a pic, not so much because of the flowers, but the interesting star shaped growth on the right. I don't know if it has anything to do with them, but it was interesting, anyway. I tried to capture the insects that were flying around the flowers, which looked something like a cross between a brownish-grey moth and a butterfly, but they moved too quickly for me to focus on, and since light was fading and I had a lot more to see, I moved on!
This wasn't taken with my macro lens, which I'm sure would have given a much better result, but there just wasn't time. One of these days, I'll go earlier with the sole intent (yeah, right!) of doing a macro shoot. I think that would be best reserved for a garden area, but who knows? There are a lot of beautiful macro possibilities at the beach, although it's hard to take note of them when focusing on waves, lighthouses and lifeguard towers! Perhaps a cloudy, grey day that would be less tempting would do. :-)
Our lovely hydrangea, "Endless Summer" is fading quickly. I brought a couple of heads indoors and am playing with hem in the lightbox.
