I was given a "spare" rose to wear during the Rosary Procession yesterday. Just after Benediction, I happened to glance down, and caught sight of the rose against my black mantilla, and immediately thought it would make a beautiful photo... and so I aimed my camera...Yes, I have reached the point where I assess everything in my life as a potential photo opportunity...
Seriously, though, I have been frustrated on more than one occasion when I have wanted a particular photo to illustrate a blog post, and all the best ones on Google Images turn out to be copyrighted by various photo companies. So, I decided that I'm going to start up a collection of stock photos, and keep them together on Flickr... of course, that means that anyone who uses them is supposed to give me a link back, and it's not supposed to be used for commercial purposes...You can find them in my Stock Photo set...
You were right . . . it is a beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteAh, a yellow rose! I made a novena to St. Therese of the Child Jesus (who has been taking care of me for years) for a really huge intention a few years ago, and asked for yellow roses as a sign that my prayer was granted. The yellow roses finally appeared, along with some gut-wrenching trials that made it look as though I would not get what I was asking for (which was something I really needed)...and then all the difficulties vanished, and my prayer was granted.
ReplyDeleteSo needless to say, yellow roses are special to me. Plus, those are beautiful pics.
