Last weekend I was checking out my new-to-me Tamron 28-75 F2.8 XR DI, when I came across this bedraggled and way past it's prime lily. For some reason it drew me, maybe because I'm feeling the encroachments of time myself.
BTW the Tamron is a very nice lens, sharp and contrasty. I'll do an LBA post sometime soon. But I'll leave you with the sad thought that even a great beauty will feel the ravages of time.

The Tamron 28-75 is a dandy of a lens... congrats on your purchase! It's actually the only zoom I own and I wouldn't give it up for anything! And, nice pic... I feel that way sometimes in the morning
