wabi sabi

wabi sabi (japanese) is defined as the beauty and appreciation of things imperfect and impermanent, accepting the flow of life.

i might have posted a photo of this group of hydrangeas sometime ago when the flowers were all white with a touch of their green leaves, but i find them, even with the drab earthy colours rather attractive, and of course, rather apropos for the wabi sabi term.

the theme this week at 52 frames is wabi sabi. i will have to revisit this place by the mall to take an updated shot for the challenge.

tagging this also for week 41 'imperfections' prompt of the 52 captures challenge.

Lovely tones and textures. I think that hydrangeas have beauty in all stages of their life.

Looking lovely under the sun. I love to see Wabi-Sabi and will have to follow your lead to find some to use.

It's funny that you should take a photo of dried hydrangeas and call it wabi sabi. We had a discussion of the exact same thing a photo club this past week.
