The Ravages of Age

These aren't the exact group of mushrooms I photographed earlier this week. They are in the same area. Since I was there they've gotten older and it shows. They are slowly decaying. I do think about this often these days as I am finally at an age where I must admit I am growing old. And my husband is 14 years older. So I think about the ravages of age and hope that they arrive with grace and tenderness for both of us. They will arrive in some form for sure.

This is not meant to be a sad blip. Just a thoughtful one.
