Death of a Rose by andycoleborn

Death of a Rose

I know, I know... after complaining yesterday about the number of my photos featuring flowers, the last thing I wanted to take today was another bleeding bloom!!!

But today was a busy day which didn't leave me much option other than to turn to the flowers Sangeeta bought me for Valentine's for another snap.

Yesterday's rose has faired much better than this, still vibrant and looking good - this poor guy on the other hand has long passed it's sell by date!

It was another trip to Hampshire today - lots of driving, quick meal with my parents and an hour or so in the garden cutting back some overgrown shrubs then onto Portsmouth to watch us beat Scunthorpe 2-0... That's five wins on the bounce and five clean sheets to boot...

Scunthorpe...!! Possibly the rudest place name in the UK.....
I like this a lot, great color and composition

It reminds me they are kind of a waste to buy, but as a man we have to!

Maybe the death of the rose is what you needed to end the flower cycle.....

@andifree haha... hope so but funny enough, I find I want to take pics of dead flowers almost , if not more so, than living ones...
@poophappens true... but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do (plus she actually bought me these!!!!!!!... about time this equality lark worked both ways lol)
