I’ve always enjoyed taking close-up shots but lately I’m really loving it. Just before the light was completely gone I took this of a rosebud in our garden. I loved how the unopened rosebuds surrounded this one beautiful rose and how it exists uniquely by itself while the light slowly fades away. And throughout the night it still stands beautiful even when we can’t see it.

The light or lack thereof lends this image an abstract quality…

I’ve been sorta ‘out of pocket’ too. My Muse sent me a text before I even got up. It read: “Yer on yer own today sucker! I’m taking the day. Happy writing!”
Damn hard to keep a good muse about the house.
June 30, 2014 at 6:17 pm
It’s aMUSing you’d say that! 😛
