ABOVE– The abundant toys of a garden in May.

BELOW– One thing led to another.

 

The photographer quickly tired of the blue background.

She often prefers white, and was inspired by a number of different compositions.

The green box provides one more look for the hardworking roses.

Good art is art that allows you to enter it from a variety of angles and to emerge with a variety of views.

I'm not so sure the above is art, but the process seems like art to me. It's kind of a personal immersion with roses trying to show them at their best, not settling for the first try, and hoping I'm doing something a teeny bit different than last time.

 

Belle Isis, Village Maid, De Meaux, Heritage, Macrantha, Mme Caroline Testout, Common Moss and a couple other roses appear with Limemound spirea, aquilegia, nemesia, and a little furry grey thing I don't know the name of.
