Hey Harriet! Check Out the Shadow Rose!
This is an old newspaper rendition of a rose that I found in a large envelope last year at the county recycle center. The envelope was marked “Evelyn” and had many cut out roses from newspapers and magazines from the 1940’s. I think this is one of my favorites.
What a terrific shadow shot! Really different and creative! Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great day!

How wonderful to be able to save something so lovely from being lost forever. I’m sure that Evelyn would be grateful a well.
Thanks for stopping by.

This feels like it would be an interesting growing animation, perhaps in the creepyish style of Tim Burton. You know, like that scene in the Nightmare Before Christmas where the plant slowly unravels.

Mysterious rose,
clinging to shadows for strength,
do you have a name?

2BD – that is an amazing picture. It’s really stunning. It’s almost as if the rose is disappearing into the light. That’s really fantastic. Thanks for sharing this.

And scrolling down to the moving dog – he did that just so he could have more attention! But the smiling muddy dog!! He was simply in heaven, before his bath!
