I discovered this beautiful handmade cedar rose while walking in the forest in late February (I was too busy sharing my hearts at the time) with a friend. Someone had just left it on a stump. I took a photo and left it for others to enjoy. We were back on the same trail today and it's gone now!
I'm drawn to the interesting mix of textures and tones, and am intrigued by the mystery surrounding the rose. It's nice that taking a picture allows you to "keep" the memory of the rose, and share it's beauty with even more people even though someone else has it now. Maybe the owner came back for it?
