One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of

us tend to put off living.
We are all dreaming of some magical rose

garden over the horizon – instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming

outside our windows today.




– Dale Carnegie






Photos I took today of the roses outside our window and in our garden…



Curling petals for sleeping fairies…







I love textures…









A rose against the sky…

I love the texture of wood…





Looking into the hearts of flowers…

Lush pink white red…





The reddest of roses…





and of course… the beautiful Charlie…
