Not an ordinary rose..

It is a small rose but was my choice for trying to create a Japanese screen look. Nice on black, enlarged.

Three good things:
1. I found a book of poetry that I have been looking for.
2. Glad we have a heater in our living room as the weather has not been hot and it is the middle of summer!
3. John free'd up a lot more memory space on my computer and it is much faster!
