"The sharp knife of a short life

I've had just enough time..."


- "If I Die Young" The Band Perry


I see Beauty in many things. And like the ghosts that only speak to you if you notice them, they tell me wondrous tales. With my camera and my thoughts, I captured these as faithfully as I can to share with you. And by doing so, they gave me the reasons. And though the thousand reasons may not all be sweet and some indeed bitter; they are still reasons to live. Come to think about it, that is Life, isn't it?

Stawberries Ready To Be Eaten, Moldy When Not


I've had just enough time to...   let strawberries go to waste...


Taken in my hotel room in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam


Strawberries
Ready to be eaten
Left the night over
The next morning

Moldy




Who will buy
This wonderful morning?
Such a sky
You never did see! 

Who will tie 
It up with a ribbon 
And put it in a box for me? 

Who Will Buy? - OLIVER

    In the Horizon Club in Shangrila Ho Chi Minh, they left me a bowl of ripe strawberries in the hotel room. I had to go out for dinner that evening. When I returned was too late for strawberries. The next morning was too early strawberries and I had to go to the office. When I was ready for strawberries that afternoon, I find them all moldy. Not one to cry over spilled milk, I took out my camera to shoot my regrets…

    Not a yummy treat my friend. At first I thought you sprinkled sugar on them and then when I read your description I saw that was not the case. Hope you are doing well in spite of the moldy fruit. :-)

    It only means that sweet things in life don't wait for us, we have to enjoy it without any delay. When I have chance to meet someone sweet and nice in life, i wont be stingy to admire him/her.

    Great capture on not so appetizing strawberries,
    I must say when I was working in Greece we only used over ripped strawberries and other fruits to make our ice cream, people used to turn and look as I was riding my bicycle with cases strapped in the back,
    the aroma was so intense thinking of them now I am salivating:-)
    Have a great Friday my friend!

    Who will buy? Haha, nobody in that condition ...but has put it into valuable perspective *~* But the shot itself is intriguing, thou. How did you get that urban panoramic effect as background?

    a vivid reminder to us all to always look at something before we eat it!
    good thing someone didnt just mindlessly eat them during the dark of the night.

    he who hesitates (to eat his strawberries) is lost *~* but a lovely gesture on the hotel's part to offer such a sweet treat.

    Geo_grafics

    Several proverbs come to mind . 'He who hesitates is lost ' . ' Make hay while the sun is shining ' . Well, the chance to taste the full sweetness of the strawberries was lost ....but you turned the event into several creative and excellent photos !! .This calls to mind another proverb : ' When life gives you lemons , make lemonade ' . Well done !
