SECOND HAND ROSE.....

.....A song recorded by Barbara Streisand in Funny Girl.  Written by Grant Clarke and James F. Hanley for Fanny Brice in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1921.  Barbara Streisand of course played Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, the story was based on the real Fanny Brice.


A good morning at Tai Chi, a really good session and nice to meet everyone, including new members.


Came home for lunch and boy has the wind got up, Storm Brendan is obviously on its way.


This evening I will be going to the GPS (Grange Photographic Society) where we have a Improvement night.  We will be put into groups according to the makes of our camera, the aim is for us to learn from each other and become a support for each other with tips or ideas etc.  If successful there will be more of these evenings.


I wondered what I could blip today and popped out into the garden to see if there was any signs of life. There were quite a few bulbs beginning to peep through and some things budding but this rose, although going over caught my eye.  This particular one has been amazing, we've had a rose either in bloom or bud all year round.  It's a very small one and sheltered by a Camellia bush so maybe that's why it does so well.  


Used the macro, once again not as sharp as I would like but then I had to put the camera on sport mode because it was so windy and the bloom rocked back and forth a lot.  Still it's not too bad for all that.


Thank you so much for dropping by.  Take care everyone and stay safe.  See you all tomorrow.
