"I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you."
~Marilyn Monroe

The sad end to Marilyn Monroe, the beauty echoed in these exquisite leaves, reminding me

beauty that is gone in the form of Marilyn, but here captured in these mesmerizing leaves !
