Where flowers go to die

Almost forgotten

The things we find when we dive deep into our photo archives.

Like this forlorn rose on an equally forlorn concrete garage floor. For some reason it got left behind on garbage day, and someone thought it should be remembered for posterity - with a BlackBerry Priv, of all things.

That someone would be me. And almost seven years after I snagged this shot before tossing this dehydrated flower out for good, I’m still at a loss as to why I seem so insistent on remembering mundane objects and scenes and moments.

Maybe it never needs to be explained or understood. No one gets hurt in the process, and all I’m really consuming is drive space.

Works for me.
