When I found this orange rose, it was already glowing with warmth. But what made me pause was the small caterpillar resting gently on its petals. It felt like I had captured not just a flower, but a story about change and becoming.
Roses are often seen as complete - symbols of love, beauty and bloom. But this rose reminded me that every stage of life matters, not just the "perfect" flower. Even in its moment of glory, it was sharing space with a caterpillar still on its journey.
The orange petals looked like fire, each layer unfolding with energy and life. The caterpillar, by contrast, was still and quiet - a reminder that transformation takes time. Together, they made me think of balance: blooming now, and waiting for what's next.
This picture felt like a gentle massage: You can bloom where you are, and still be in the process of becoming something new. The rose and the caterpillar showed me that beauty isn't one moment - it's the whole cycle of growth.
Sometimes we see ourselves as the rose, sometimes as the caterpillar. Either way, both are beautiful. Both are enough.
