This photo of a drying droopy-headed flower reminds me of an old Mark Twain quote: “You can’t depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus”. While the background is blurry due to the shallow depth of field, the beauty of the flower is still in focus. Some people might not find that beauty but see rotting brown death overtaking the flower. To you, I would say, your imagination is out of focus – you have lost your ability to see the world through the eyes of a child – to paraphrase Ruth Draper.
