The Gallery: Pink

The weather over the past week has been absolutely stupendous.  On Friday, it was warmer here than in Rome. When I spoke to my sister outside of St. Louis, they were shivering in 48 degree weather, while we were basking in temps near 75.

It felt more like July than October.

Odder yet?

One of the rose bushes bloomed.

And not just one lone bloom, but the whole darn rosebush, in a stunning, glorious pink. That photo, my friends, is completely untouched – no color adjustment, “not Lomo-fied”, none of my favorite Picnik tweaks, just nature in all her surprising glory.

I like to think it’s God’s way of telling us not to get too comfortable in our expectations.

This week’s theme for The Gallery was, yes indeedy, colors.

It was a really difficult choice, picking just one photo, when I love capturing vivid colors…but I couldn’t find a way to tie them all together. And I’m having too much fun playing with my new lens. There is sure to be a fantastic display of photos this week, so pop on over to Sticky Fingers blog to check out more gallery entries!!!
