With Age Comes Special Beauty

Description

Dedicated to my kind friend Juha :iconjusuart: for his BIRTHDAY on June 9th!
:w00t: :boogie: :cake: :party: :music:

I've known Juha for a long time here on dA, and I certainly appreciate the various ways he's been supportive to me and my work. He's been a great friend here on dA. Juha is truly a kind person. :aww:

Not to mention, I'm a big fan of his unique style of work! :nod:

Photographed here:
A close-up portion of an older Saguaro cactus on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona.
Some can live around 150 years or more! Read more HERE: [link]

It was the signs of age, and the inherent beauty therein, that drew me to this particular cactus.
:aww:


In our generally youth-obsessed culture, it is easy to forget that with age, and the wrinkles, lines, scars, etc., we are growing further into a special beauty that is comprised of a mapping system of our experiences of LIFE. How can this NOT be beautiful? :)

[Please know, this has nothing to do with whatever is Juha's physical age, as I don't even know it.]


Here is a feature of Juha's awesome work:



Dear Juha,
Thanks for your support and friendship!
I wish for you the best in all of your efforts,
in the coming year. :aww:
Your Friend, Tea

Gathering Stories
~Jónsi
....To be a part of
Something that I can't see
A life that is beyond
Something that I can't fear
To be a part of
The story...

[ :note: NOTE: Thank you, in advance, for any :+fav:'s I may receive for this image. :thanks: :aww: :rose: I am honoured and grateful that anyone would think well enough to :+fav: it. :nod: So thank you from the bottom of my heart :heart: . I understand if you don't have time to comment, but thank you for any kind comments, too. :aww:
It's important to know this NOW, as I may NOT be able to do individual thank-you's for :+fav:'s, or in case I cannot respond to each comment, either. Thanks for understanding. :thanks:
And, if you just came to view, I appreciate that, too.
