Description
A bright pink bud on a rosebush in the Angra Garden of Angra do Heroismo prepares to bloom in December.
Where I live, roses only begin to bloom in March. I suppose the warm winters in the Azores allow for a longer blooming season for the roses on Terceira. The garden was full of beautiful roses in various stages of blooming from buds like this one, to flowers in full bloom, and even a few who were dropping their petals, nearing the end of their time of full beauty. Where I live, the blooming season is so short that most rosebushes only bloom once: The rosebushes all have only buds, then only flowers, then the blooms all begin to drop their petals at the same time.
The variance in the stages of bloom shown in this garden reminded me of the different stages of life people find themselves in. In school, and sometimes in work, we find ourselves in the same stage of life everyone around us is in, but if we venture out into the world, outside of societal confines of age, we meet and interact with people in so many different stages of life, and we can see the beauty of where we are, and help others see the beauty of where they are.
