Roses In Winter

Yes,it is still winter but we are in the home stretch now.

After all,in one week March will be here,so the warmer weather must come soon.

Until that time I will look for ways to enjoy the winter.

On a recent drive out in the country,I saw this scene,and although it is snowy and looks cold,it still has beauty about it.

And now without further delay,I bring you roses in winter.

I had fun getting pictures of these bright flowers,even though they didn't last very long.

Using the telephoto lens it creates a nice dark background.

Here is just another angle of one of these pretty blooms that brightened my day.

 The day after I brought these flowers home it was a very pleasant winter day and since a couple of the flowers were well past their prime,I chose those and took them outside.

I had not swept the snow off the deck railing and now that was the perfect place to lay my roses and capture image after image of them.I kind of like this wider shot,showing my yard in the background.

I hope these roses brought you at least a touch of joy today.

No profound thought for today,but the reminder to take the time to enjoy the little things in life.

May God bless each of you richly.
