Raspberry Ice by maggiemae

Raspberry Ice

Resorting to flower photos but the garden is looking lovely with all the roses. This is the rose that my photo won an award in the local provincial paper and I received the much awaited chocolate prize today..... 3 tiny chocolate bars, the sort you find in a Christmas cracker!

Three good things:
1. Ham for dinner - for the fourth time!
2. Getting used to a nap after lunch - am I old or something?
3. A visit from one side of a couple that split up some years ago.
You deserved to win and I don't envy your the chocolate. ate too much of it and so many cookies. weight has gone up. fav. for these gorgeous roses.

A perfect name for this beautiful rose. I love how you've caught the light in the central rose. Congratulations on your prize.

The petals on this rose look so frilly and the colours are gorgeous!

It is a rather unusual colour. Very pretty though. Surely they could have given you a decent size bar of chocolate.

@salza I think I'll take a photograph of the prize and post it to the paper!

Lovely colours. It will be a long time before we are photographing flowers in England!

Beautiful flowers and lovely shot of them...I like the visual triangle the flowers make....keeps my eye going from one lovely bloom to another. Enjoy the chocolate!

Hm. Clearly a different season. Oh, right. You are having spring! Lovely spring colors.

No wonder it was a winner, it is stunning

Stunning rose and brilliant capture.

@digitalrn This wasn't the actual photo that I put in but the same rose. I set the rose against a black background for that one!
December 28th, 2016  
Beautiful and unusual!
December 28th, 2016  
beautiful..

Wonderful light, petal layers, colors
December 29th, 2016  
Beautiful shot! Unusual perspective. I can see why a photo of these roses would win a prize!
December 29th, 2016  
I feel like that when I take a flower photo but this one is a beauty & you capture flowers so well anyway! Three measly choc bars, your photo deserved a meal out at the very least! Awkward sometimes when couples split up, best to keep friends with both & no slagging off!
December 29th, 2016  
Lovely.
December 29th, 2016  
Wow, that deserves more than three little chocolate bars. Instant FAV.

@happypat One of the unwritten rules, Pat is not to mention the other partner!

@skstein Actually, Sandy, the chocolate was first class even if a bit mean!

Post prandial nap...Nature's healing. Take strength from it.

@summerfield The chocolates looked very cheap but when opening them and tasting, they had beautiful creamy chocolate on. Gave the peppermint one to Mr Cool! Appropriate?
December 29th, 2016  
@maggiemae - super!
