Brave Buds of Winter

I began pruning my roses today. One bush had forgotten it is winter and these brave little buds were too pretty to discard. So I brought them inside to live out their time in the warmth, saving them from the predicted snow :) They are far from perfect but I hope you enjoy their cheerful colour. . . Panasonic DMC-FZ7

Did I behave myself at the party? I feel like I'm hanging from the chandelier. Great photo and angle.

With your talent for composition and presentation there is no such thing as "far from perfect", this is an extremely nice piece, well done Lyn.

Well, they look perfect! I can't believe you have roses even now! What a wonderful climate you live in. I like what you did with the lovely background too. It fits well with the beautiful peach color of the roses.

They make a beautiful posy, Lyn. Their colour is such a wonderful peach. Do they have a scent to match their beauty?

Lyn, this post makes me shivering. Got no goose flesh because you said in your narrative that snow is predicted in New Zealand, but because of this stunning post! Excellent.

Pretty close to perfect if you ask me. I love the color of the roses against that deep red background. Just a wonderful presentation.

I keep thinking you cannot possibly post a prettier flower photo than the one before, but here you go again. This is gorgeous. the sharpness of the focus and the capture of the folds in the petals is awesome. Another keeper.
