Winter Rose

I used a white box to photograph this newly arrived rose and most of the shots were white. This one for some odd reason went dark but I thought it had its own appeal.

The other photo is white as the way it was intended; http://365project.org/maggiemae/jessie-s-nest-e

Three good things
1. Dug the garden (blue job) and John bagged about 4 kilos of potatoes
2. Loved the response about funeral arrangements from everybody including Gillian @quiksilver and Pats @happypat!
3. Provincial rugby back on and during the match I can read, knit and write my diary!

This is very artistic maggiemae, i am truly impressed, the light touching the petals just shimmers.

Great shot. I was in my garden today too. Good day for it. The Highlanders aren't doing well right now. I hate losing to the Crusaders!

I can never decide which version I like either. I really like the detail you can see with this one. The center is amazing.

I would never have thought it was a rose, how unusual and very pretty in a dark kinda way :)
