Day Six



Another warmer day outside today. Most of our snow is melted. Just some patches here and there. But I believe last night they said a snow storm was coming today, but we'll see. Weather people are always wrong!

Back to the same rose bush as day four and five. It is technically on the neighbor's property, but a couple feet away from ours. The side of the house the neighbors never see but we do. This rose bush is gigantic! It's several feet taller than me. The stems are huge too, most atleast 1/2 inch in diameter if not more. That means gigantic thorns! Trying to get a shot for today I needed to get close. In the process I was stuck several times, but that's ok - not like I had bare skin out there other than my cheeks.

This rose bush is providing me with these gorgeous colors. I love these colors - deep purples, greens, coppers.

  2. There is an overall serene atmosphere coming through not only this photo, but from the gallery as an ensemble. It's coming together really nicely and I am confident that your good eye will lead you to more great photos.

  3. This is indeed full of colour. Espcially for the middle on winter!! Once again the depth of field works well and you can't go wrong with a diagonal composition like this one.
