FLOWER FRIDAY

I was much later getting up this morning and after I had my shower, I just “bumbled” around in my pink robe - dapping in and out of the garden, taking photographs and then looking at them on my laptop.

I was trying different settings on my camera and rather liked this “low key” photograph of the rose against our blue fence - and even though it is past its best, I think it is still beautiful.  It is also SOOC - with no touching up whatsoever.

It’s a lovely sunny day, with virtually no wind and I guess we have to make the most of these because  summer is drawing to a close.  The birds are singing and I am thankful that I can wander around our garden and still see such beauty there, even when many of the flowers are fading.  

“Never miss an opportunity 
     of noticing anything of beauty ...”
