16 June - just a rose

Such an on/off day today... sunshine, clouds & heavy showers.
Typed out a big rant about how unfair some things are in life & how some people
are never satisfied... but I deleted it all, not worth getting in a stew about it!
I have my girlfriends, my health, my lovely family AND a passion for photography, what
do I have to complain about really?!! :o)
Just a grey wall background for this rose, so I swapped it for black coz that's
the colour I like most today...!!

Tall & that colour it sounds like you have Queen Elizabeth Rose there Nicky...kind of fitting considering your celebrating her official birthday over there !!

Beautiful lighting and love the dropped background that really shows up the rose.
Guest 17-Jun-2007 01:50
I know the feeling. And also the way out...such as this. V

When I think of M&S I think of Myleene Klass LOL!
Even if we have a lot of good things going on, we still need to rant. It's gonna get better!

Guest 16-Jun-2007 18:16
This is an excellent image Nicky - you did real good here - vote -
Nicki Thurgar16-Jun-2007 18:16
well it ain't M&S! It's on a very tall rosebush in my garden!! (perhaps I should sell them to M&S!!!) ;o)
Zak16-Jun-2007 18:14
dont know why but i thought M&S rose too when i saw it!!
JW16-Jun-2007 17:57
This is not just a rose, this is the rarest Himalayan species, grown organically, drizzled with mountain spring water and hand-picked at dawn .... This is an M&S rose!! LOL

Hope tomorrow is better! :-)

It's never just a rose, each has it's own beauty, just like you.

Beautious.
Gail Davison16-Jun-2007 16:56
Remember Nicky.... demure and professional.. hahahaha

It is just a beautiful shot of a rose Nicky. It is often cathartic to write your feelings down in words and then destroy them, so I am sure you will feel better for having done that today. A glass of wine will help too!
Chris16-Jun-2007 16:08
Hey, Nicky this is not like you at all - but the shot is terrific. Have a glass of 'Mother's ruin' tonight and a bag of cashews or crisps or both and then chocolates after dinner! Chris
