The passage of time - a photo on Flickriver

            I originally took this shot for this week's Macro Mondays theme, Wabi-sabi, but decided on a different one in the end.  As with the silver one in the previous image, the case for this gold pocket watch was sold for scrap a long time ago, but I've only known it in its stripped down condition.  The face is so pretty and I love the ribbed winder.  The book with the missing spine is a Victorian photo album, which has found its way down to me.  It's full of images of distant relatives of my late mother's, but I've no idea who any of them are, sadly.  The curled, decaying flower was once a bright yellow Osteospermum in my garden.

Maybe I should have used this one for the group.  Oh, I don't know.  I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.  :))
