Old and New

They say we should take time to "smell the roses" and I would suggest it's also interesting to watch the old turn into the new. That's what I was looking for with the camera a couple of days ago.




















These new flowers don't have a nice smell but they sure have pretty blooms.




Take time to pause and enjoy the new. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by John's Island.
