While wandering around my front yard yesterday, I saw the magnificent, enormous rose hips on our rose bushes and I instantly thought of the ipernity group, "The Sunday Challenge", which has a theme this week called "Wabi-Sabi". I thought this would fill the bill perfectly! :) From Wiki: Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, specifically impermanence, the other two being suffering and emptiness or absence of self-nature. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.

I got many pictures of rose hips in our front yard, this one is my favorite because it looks like a star! :) William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Wikipedia: William Shakespeare
