Like the flower, the past cannot be trapped that way

“Like a flower pressed flat and dried, we try to hold it still and say, this is exactly how it was the day I first saw it. But like the flower, the past cannot be trapped that way. It loses its fragrance and and its vitality, its fragility becomes brittleness and its colors fade. And when next you look on the flower, you know that it is not at all what you sought to capture, that that moment has fled forever.”
Robin Hobb, Fool's Errand    

Captured at its best moment

Capturing this moment before it fades away
