Rose with the Eyes hung out today looking out the window. It was going to be her last day with us as she's had a good run. She gazed out at the view on this rather gloomy, rainy day and thought it fit the occasion. She looked at the balcony that had once seemed impossibly scary and now is only a little scary. Then the packers were done -- all the rental furniture and supplies were gone. The only thing left was an aerobed and cleaning supplies. The time had come...
But I couldn't do it...she's wrapped in bubble wrap and if she makes it, she will spend the next 4 weeks or so on Beaver Island. That's what happens when you put eyes on a rose!
...or when you give a rose a name! You've had a good time and amazing images from here, conquered some fears as well...time to embrace the new chapter!
Awesome! Fabulous fun shot love the focus on the rose and blurred background. I have some roses like that in my lounge perhaps I should put eyes on them...... Such a great idea
Oh, Taffy, she looks so sad.....I am glad you were not able to leave her behind.....not with those sad eyes!! She deserves a much better fate than that! Enjoy your time at Beaver Island, and hopefully your move back to your home is a smooth one!
Rose looks so sad. Her expression matches the weather beautifully and you've captured the atmosphere perfectly. Rose will brighten up soon, now that she knows she's coming with you. Best wishes for your move.
Oh, this is so very me...I was actually beginning to worry as I read about Rose's fate. (Love the last line of the narrative) Thanks for a really nice start to my day. And the focus and dof are wonderful - a big fav for me.
@linnypinny It was so ridiculous...she's actually been in the trash about 3 times, and each time I take her back out. But this one...I can't believe I'm taking her up to the island!! Jim will really do an eye roll when he sees her up there!
@janiskay Haha! If she survives another month, it makes it even harder to kill her off! I'll have to see...she's made it a long time without the eyes falling off. With her looking at me from the trash bin, it's hard to just walk away!
Amazing how eyes gives something a soul, a personality, feelings, and thus creates a friend. Can't leave a friend behind in the trashcan! Neat shot, sweet sentiments.
@lyndemc You're right about the eyes...I had a lemon once that I felt terrible about slicing apart! And it was all because of the eyes. At least when I put them on a broken egg...it was already broken! Thanks for the visit/comment!
Lovely commentary Taffy creating such a sad feel to the shot which seems to express your feeling at this time! Hope the rose makes it to Beaver Island - I think that would be a wonderful place for her to stay. Enjoy your time on the island and hopefully when you come back next time you will be able to move back home properly with no more headaches! Take care!
Aaaw, glad Rose is going to Beaver Island with you. Perhaps you will not have to make the decision about where she goes after that, perhaps she will simply fall apart and return to nature of her own accord. Great window shot too!
