Summer's gone

The last rose of summer is brought inside to admire! Maybe yellow roses last longer than others. I’m humming now, Oh, the yellow rose of Texas…..”

Magic on black!

By the way, Mr Man and Yolanda are still snoring away in their Cornish Hideaway while a local man is fixing the motorbike - it seems to have developed a few bends!
Yolanda has my mobile number so I will keep up with their future movements.

Three good things;
1. Being able to choose anything you want on the net regarding a plan for the Big Journey. Hotels, rentals, flights, insurance, temperatures, the right nightwear to bring!
2.The community rallying around mysterious happenings in our area - 200 sheep shot on a farm in the night, and again last weekend, 15 shot in another farm! No cartridges found, no sounds of shots!
3. We don’t have sheep in our garden.
Lovely rose and terrible mystery! Who would want to do something like that and why? Hope the bike is repaired in good time.

I like the poster effects....lovely work of art and a fav for me! Yikes, I'd be scared out of wits if someone in our area began shooting up anything! How awful! Aliens? ;-)

Beautiful rose and nice processing! You may be correct about yellow roses. The longest lasting rose in my garden is yellow :D
July 1st, 2014  
Absolutely heartbreaking for the farmer....all those sheep shot for no reason...I presume they are still there so no financial gain there... A grudge perhaps......very strange & poor sheep!
Sounds like a big trip coming up or are you just planning?love the treatment given to your rose....I am singing The Yellow Rose of Texas now of course...haven't thought of that song for years....you & my era Maggiemaez,
July 1st, 2014  
Awesome
July 1st, 2014  
@happypat The first lot were shot on a full moon and they thought that had significance but then it happened again! Its all on NZ news! Yes, a trip coming up - US (Indian motorbike related) then France where stepdaughter has booked a give followed by Spain and Portugal (I think)!

What a beautiful rose Maggie, I like the painterly effect edit too.
July 1st, 2014  
Lovely image and I like the effect very much.
July 1st, 2014  
Wonderful processing, this would look amazing on a canvas on the wall!..fav
July 1st, 2014  
Love the processing for your rose. How sad about the sheep. I hope the culprits are found. Your trip sounds wonderful!
July 1st, 2014  
I love the simple elegance and processing of this shot.
July 1st, 2014  
@grammyn Thank you Katy for your complimentary fav!

Fantastic elegant capture. Fav
July 1st, 2014

@phil_howcroft Perhaps just the norm then, Phil?
July 1st, 2014  
@maggiemae yes the norm maggie :(
July 1st, 2014  
wonderful ...
July 2nd, 2014  
Wonderful processing!
July 2nd, 2014  
Very pretty editing! How strange and sad about all the sheep though.
July 2nd, 2014  
nice edit on this pic
July 2nd, 2014  
I love how you edited this! And, I hope they find the rotter(s) who are shooting the sheep!
July 2nd, 2014  
Beautiful shot. Great painterly processing
July 2nd, 2014  
really great shot
July 2nd, 2014  
the last looks like the best.
July 2nd, 2014  
So beautiful. It looks like a painting.
July 2nd, 2014  
Love your processing. Fav
July 2nd, 2014  
But you have managed to salvage some of its glory
July 2nd, 2014  
Lovely shot, beautiful processing.
July 2nd, 2014  
Nice
July 2nd, 2014  
Lovely rose, enjoy. Sorry about the shootings
July 2nd, 2014  
BEAUTIFUL ....and now I am humming that tune also.
July 2nd, 2014  
This is wonderful processing.
July 2nd, 2014  
Yes saw the sheep killing on the news. Dreadful.
July 2nd, 2014  
Cool processing.
July 2nd, 2014  
Great photo and processing. Love that painterly effect.
July 2nd, 2014  
Instant fav, Maggiemae. I love this processing and the resulting image. Wow!! And so weird about the poor sheep. Someone using a silencer and with a real grudge? That's awful!!
July 2nd, 2014  
@taffy Two different farms were targeted, Taffy - perhaps not a grudge but a sick someone which is a bit worrying! Thanks for the fav!!
July 2nd, 2014  
Love the painterly effect here but it looks like a gorgeous rose to start with. Distressing about the sheep the farmers must be devastated at their loss and somewhat fearful as well.
July 2nd, 2014  
@lwain The whole community is fearful, Lindy. The area where the sheep were killed is unattainable with a vehicle so this person would have had to walk for some miles to get there!
July 2nd, 2014  
@maggiemae it is one of the strangest things I have ever heard.
July 2nd, 2014  
Love your post processing of this yellow rose. I grew up in Texas so yellow roses are a favorite.

Cool shot, Maggiemae. Yellow roses are lovely. Cool processing. What is up with shooting sheep??? And how can no shots be heard? Unless they are using silencers. But why shoot the sheep?? That's scary. I hope the perpetrators get caught and fast. Be safe.
July 3rd, 2014  
@prttblues They are talking about silencers, Bev - but why? what sort of guy would want to act this way!
July 3rd, 2014  
Perfect shot of this beauty
July 3rd, 2014  
I love your rose and the painted effect is magical - fav!
July 4th, 2014  
like a painting ... lovely
July 5th, 2014  
Gorgeous painterly processing of this lovely shot, not surprised it made the PP, fav for me. I just hope the sheep died quick deaths.
