late rosebud....

....in a front garden on our daily walk. No need to rush out for the walk this morning as it's raining and Jinks doesn't like water in any circumstance - except to drink. He usually turns round at the top of the drive and comes back down to the house if it's a wet day.

Fav, gorgeous colours, framing and capture.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Lovely capture & processing Hazel , and you have done a great job with a suitable framing !

[Hazel]

@daisyjuds

Oh thank you Judith, that's a boosting start to my day!

[Hazel]

@beryl

Thank you Beryl. I rather like that 'drop frame' option on Picmonkey which I find quite subtle.

[Claire]

This is so beautiful, fabulous job

[Darren Juden]

Nice one Hazel :)

[Andrea]

Sorry I should have put Hazel....Sorry.

[Richard Creese]

Lovely close up.

@tonygig

It's OK, Tony, the gym mistress at school used to call me Heather and never remembered that I wasn't!!

[Hazel A]

@quietpurplehaze
Coincidence that a couple of people I knew (one a client at work) always called me Heather! I got so fed up correcting them that I just used to respond to Heather eventually

[Hazel]

@purplehaze12

I must have been a bit more placid at school as I don't remember ever correcting the teacher!

[Pyrrhula]

Very beautiful dear Hazel. Wonderful pic. and a beautiful framing.
I only like water to have a bath.
Thanks for you so nice /lovely/franc lines on my poem pic.

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula

Thank you for your comment on my rosebud. I hardly ever have a bath - just too much effort! But I do shower! Concerning my grandad and his pipe, how strange it is the way memories are triggered.

[Rohini Gupta]

Love it, beautifully taken and processed.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Love the softness of it. Beautiful.

[Sheila G]

Pretty shot

[Sharon]

Beautiful processing! You are fortunate - my dogs think that getting wet is mandatory - and getting me wet is a statutory obligation!

[Julie Duncan]

Gorgeous!

[Hazel]

@sharonthompson

Just shows there is a good side to everything!

[Ivan]

Nicely recordede and presented late bloom, Hazel.

[Paula W]

Really beautiful Hazel, the frame works really well too. I noticed a single bud on one of my patio roses today so you have inspired me to photograph it tomorrow for my project.

[Hazel]

@paulaw

Thanks, Paula, I'll look out for your shot!

[Pyrrhula]

@quietpurplehaze It was just a way of saying. To drink we have/prefer coffee , beer, wine a.s.o.

[Louise Davies]

Instant Fav - just lovely!

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula

Ah, I see - I like water to drink too, but preferably sparkling.
