Thanks for the compliment of my mellow yellow post! A friend and I used to have a candle making business so I had a lot of opportunities to capture a picture.

This is a lovely picture! I love the way that it just tilted to the side. Nice work!

Oh Dianne, that is indeed a gorgee-us rose! BTW don't you want to be interviewed? Or did Daryl interview you already? Happy Ruby Tuesday!

I used to get myself flowers all the time but Siren eats them lol

Jan said...

Lovely, Diane. Very formal looking.

Raven said...

Beautiful shot! I love those yellow flowers down below too. And now I am craving flowers even though they would have to be hidden somewhere safe because Angel would NOT just look. She would poke, chew and push over. She's like that.

Now that is Ruby red, lovely! I clicked on the photo and just love the speckles on the green leaves. Nature in her perfect imperfection.

What a lovely red rose with a deep rich color ... it looks almost too perfect to be real ;--)
