The last rose in Princess Street Park, Edinburgh

            As I walked through the Princess Street Park looking for wildlife, I came across a large, perfectly manicured rose bed. Of the 50+ rose bushes, it was clear to see that their season had ended as this single rose stood tall over all the others who had wilted and were now far past their prime. It caught my eye as a symbol of the passing time, the changes from season to season, knowing its roots and stems are strong and it will now just patiently wait for spring.
