aliens also get old

we tend to think of aliens as young or at their prime in life but the truth of the matter is that they also get old. this is a recent shot of one of the many i encounter in my daily circles

and here is a shot of the same fellow as a mature adult taken by my grandfather 180 years ago, long before i was born

and just for reference, this beech tree was about 180 years old when it was cut down due to some fungal infection rotting out its teeth
