ONCE UPON A TIME

Once upon a time this was a proud rose and admired by one and all. Now it is withered and nobody cares about it. It still makes for a good shot though.
Thanks a lot for all your visits, comments and fav's - always appreciated.

Reminds me of the "Beauty and the Beast" rose

Beauty and the beast came to mind as well.

My next upload for today has a similar theme to yours Dion : time, change and maturity.
