When Im 64.jpg

Before posting this image Bill asked Me what the title should be. I glanced at it real quick and said "When I'm 64". I know, I know, odd name for this image. But look at it again. See what I mean? It's not quite all there and you know it's seen better days. The beautiful flower it once was has long since gone by. But, it was still pretty to ME! I hope when I'm well past My prime, My inner beauty will still shine, just like this little puffball of seeds does.

Wanda, thanks for sharing this lovely photo and your thoughts. Brilliant title, you know...guess we are all closer to this point with every day.

Jim,

Do you think perhaps Paul would consider doing a remake of his own song and use this image as the Album cover? Oops, there I go dating Myself! I meant CD cover! (GRIN)

Wanda, I like your title and eloquent description, maybe you should write a poem or a song on this idea? Hmm, it does sound a little familiar tho ;-)

Yes, I think the title fits. Makes sense to me and can apply to many of us!

Fascinating reflection on aging, and a fine shot Wanda.
