"Promise" Fulfilled




Early this morning a beautiful rose bud was starting to unfold. A few hours and spring showers later.....










Quite different to our house, some painting work in progress, filled with plaster dust and paint sanding, drop cloths and temporary disarray. Thankfully our living areas are showing promise also, just of a slower kind.

    Love this series captures. Very dramatic and so cute. The rose seems to be blushing by the attention that it has gotten.

    I'm tempted to drive all the way up to see you today so I can sit and watch how you take these kind of series of photos - just love them, the water droplets on each one are magnificent. Hey, then I could take you out for lunch - a long LONG lunch, while hopefully most of the work can get achieved on your loungeroom. What a tedious task - even if there are several hands on the job.
