"A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder" - Stephen King
As I am effectively house-bound until we organise more transport, I am using all the photos that I have found beautiful or intriguing of the places we go to often. I love flowers, hence, lots of photos of them! This photo was taken on the towpath - it took me a while to work out where this stunning flower came from. Then I realised that it was from a vine parasitizing a tree. There were few leaves on the tree, and the greeness was soley from the vine. Here the flower of the vine was slowly killing the tree, yet it did not detract from it's beauty. Beauty comes in all forms, and the scars that we have accumulated, both physically and emotionally form who we are. I like to think that they give us depth, forging us into something other than literal beings. Each scar tells a story and leaves an impression. Each battle grows us a little, in whichever direction we are meant to take, but the choice is ours. I choose to make something beautiful and positive out of my scars...but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
