This photo was taken 4 days ago. And if I had taken a photo of this rose today it would look much the same- still a bud with snow all around.

When I photographed it I did not feel loss. Instead I felt wonder at such a unlikely rosebud in December. All it needed was 2 more days of warmer weather to come to full bloom. Instead it is bud of frozen hopefulness.

Sometimes when i just want to relax my brain from everyday work, i visit your art. I enjoy it so much! Thank you Teri, you are so talented. hugs
ReplyDeleteLou Anne- Wow-what an incredibly uplifting comment. Thank you. Hugs back. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Teri! Thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind comment! My daughter's name is Terri - beautiful name for two beautiful women! :)
ReplyDeleteA moment in time captured forever. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe also had some rose blooms in December, but I didn't get any great pictures such as this.
ReplyDeleteHey Miss Sass- Thank you right back!! I am enjoying your photos and insights as well. My name was Terri until college. I gave up the second "r" because it always looked like a puddle after the first "r". How is that for being lazy??
ReplyDeleteSharon- I am truly blessed to capture the beauty around me. Lately photography has really kept me grounded. Hugs-
ReplyDeleteGeorge- When I posted this I had in mind your Thursday flower posts - and was remembering your lovely late November post called "The Experiment". I was thinking this rose would be my first December rose- and in a way it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
