Smelling pink roses

This is my rose, in my garden, in the fog - I've been playing with a new camera lense - so much to learn, so little time ..... so I smelt the roses while playing with the focus.


I was doing a spot of 'papparatzi-ing' in my garden with my huge and heavy lense.... well, it takes all types, *grin*


I'm sooo lucky because these rose bushes have lived here a lot longer than me and they smell divine ... whoops, there's that 'D' word again I love so much ...


I was moved to whip out the camera after taking my dog Hans outside when I saw the roses sitting in front of the fog. Usually all you can see is paddocks with grass and trees behind them.


Hot pink hues - see I play with a photo editor - wow.... *tongue in cheek self criticism - LOL*












This pair of rose buds have tiny little spider webs on them that are actually very pretty... hope you can see them clearly - I may have over condensed my pics.



More playing - I love this - looks like an old velvet rose ....







Just love this pic.... so pretty and natural....so shabby.


My latest ambition is to make old-fashioned style large patchwork curtains for my studio - with a funky modern twist - using all rose fabrics from my vast collection of old and new... My inspiration came from a vintage shop where they'd used all sorts of vintage fabrics - large squares - maybe 12" x 12" - I'm not a quilter but my dear neighbour will shed some light on the techniques for me - she does beautiful work.... I'll keep you posted but please don't hold your breath *LOL*.





Thanks for smelling the roses with me.... have a lovely day filled with peace and harmony - and lots of laughing!
Cheers,
Suzy ;
