My Late Summer Roses


My last flush of Summer roses greeted me with their cheerful little faces this morning.

Generally I leave them on my bushes and enjoy the blooms but this afternoon I looked at the grey skies above and knew that the rain would soon ruin my blooms so I picked a big bunch and brought them inside to play !

In the fading afternoon light streaming in my front door I captured a few pretty moments.

My Roses found themselves in tiny jars hanging from a white twiggy branch.
This pretty display looks beautiful sitting just under my hanging lace. It is a narrow corridor but I always keep it interesting by changing my displays often.

My 'Seduction Roses' are among my favourite roses.
and with the late sunshine filtering through the doorway, it looked as pretty as a picture.







         and a small space all of a sudden became ever so inviting.
