This is probably going to be the last of this series and also just so happens to be one of my favorites.
One of the things I love about this one is that there are three separate flowers, all in very different stages of life. It just almost has that maiden/mother/crone kind of thing going on, but narrowly misses that symbology.
When I first pulled this one up on my computer, it gave me the feeling of the kind of image you’d see in the background of a rustic wedding theme. Like something you’d see on a wedding web page or even in the background of an invitation, especially if it were to be softened and faded out a bit. Of course, that made me want to play a bit.

Some photos just really work with that softer focus kind of look. I really like both versions and couldn’t decide which I’d rather post, so I’m doing both since this is the end of the series.
And just because… I have the soft one in a pretty black and white as well.

Love the reference to maiden, mother, crone. I have a necklace purchased in Ireland that represents the trilogy.

The symbology has always spoken to me and I tend to see it popping up every once in a while.

I’d never encountered it until we visited Ireland. I bought the necklace from a man at the Poulnabrone Dolmen in County Clare.
