his and hers. the yellows he gave me yesterday, the pinks i gave him tonight.
the roses were on sale at the local grocery store so i decided i'd buy some to photograph for the challenge. partner decided that would be my valentine flowers. everyone else was grabbing the reds, i wanted the cream/yellow bouquet or white. i hate red roses. well, hate is such a strong word, let's just say, i don't like red roses.
tonight i went to my florist friend's shop across the road from my apartment. she has tons and tons of red roses and dark red-bordering-on-black carnations. i wanted pink, but not the funky pinks she had. there was a large pail in the cold room with some baby pink roses and carnations.
"are they taken?" i asked. no, they weren't. so the baby pinks became my bouquet. partner also does not care for red roses. partner loves pink flowers and gina the florist had one eyebrow raised. "does he really like pink?" and i could see the smirk forming in the corner of her mouth.
thank you, folks, for your views and comments. i shall catch up with yours shortly.
Love these two colors together . . so, you're both a couple of "romantic" people! Have a Happy Valentine's Day together. Love the way that you've composed this photo. Simply beautiful . . straight on!

Very nice! I think I should help my husband out next year and get him chocolate covered strawberries. True, he does not have a sweet tooth and could care less about chocolate. But I know he would love to share them with me since they are my FAVORITE treat next to mint chocolate chip ice cream.
