Wet Weekend by judithg

Wet Weekend

Well strictly speaking it's a wet Sunday afternoon as it was warm first thing. We are officially the driest place in the country 'suffering' the driest Spring in decades so I daren't complain about a wet day. I do feel for the students though - typical glorious revising weather followed by rain at post-exam party time. It looks like things will pick up again for the May Bumps which start on Wednesday so I will sally forth for some rowing shots.
I love this rose but it's got too heavy and flopped over in the garden so I brought some inside. Thanks for all your recent commenting - it's lovely to have feedback.
Is that a Cecil brunner rose.... It's my favourite if it is! Such a pretty shot!

@nattybabe Hmm - I've looked it up and I'm not sure. I don't think the young buds are right - but it looks gorgeous and I'm after another climber so I'm going to try and find one!!

Awww Judith this is so pretty... i love the pink hue and the lighting is just great !
June 12th, 2011  
Oh, how pretty are they?!? Way to make the most of a rainy day
June 12th, 2011  
This is so pretty ! I'm not sure if your windowsill is pink too or the roses have given off their hue ...even the raindrops look pink !!
June 12th, 2011  
This is so lovely! Great composition!
June 12th, 2011  
Gorgeous shot - the detail on the roses is great and the sad raindrops rolling down the window tell it all on he weather front!

Wow, this is really, really beautiful. What a great way to brighten up a dreary day. I can't even imagine we were missing the rain at the moment, it seems like there has been loads lately. I really hope it will turn nice for my brother's visit but I'm not very hopeful... Well, with English weather you never now I guess ;). I can't believe I'm gonna miss the May Bumps. Hope they'll have some left for me on Saturday.

@jannaellen Don't panic - Saturday is the big final day - you won't miss it!
June 12th, 2011  
Really artistic shot. And the framing tones so well.

@happypat The windowsill is white - I'm not sure if it was the light coming through the roses or something in the processing - I fiddled around loads and then went back more natural - decided they could hold their own!

It did indeed rain hard today Judith.......not good for dog walking...especially for a whippet who doesn't like rain :). ..too intelligent by far !!!!!!!!!!..I mean I got those 'why are you taking me out in pouring rain eyes'..... I muttered under my breath....'because I have to Ruby' !!!!!!!!!!!

This is gorgeous - what a lovely composition. Yes, it was a total washout of a day (the football end of season Dads v Lads football match here on the rec was replaced by an indoors party at the village hall, corralling 12 hyperactive twelve year old boys high on choc cake crisps and fizz - and the Dads were worse!)
June 14th, 2011
