Frosty Rose ... A soft-focus depiction of a blooming yellow #rose is surrounded by muted #foliage, creating a #dreamy ambiance. The delicate petals and gentle colors evoke a sense of tranquility and natural beauty.

Well, that's what Ai has to say about this one. 😁 Here's my story:

I'm not growing roses anymore ... their natural enemies proved too much for little me. The weather, the positioning (no morning sun), the black spot, the cane borers, and not to forget our "domesticated" deer population (which was considerable), all conspired to bring an end to my rose growing days. But while I had them, one of my favorite times was in autumn when the flowers were still in bloom, but when an early morning frost came to lightly kiss each sweet petal and leaf. This image, digitally hand painted in Rebelle with their magnificent watercolor brushes, is done in memory of those days. I took the photo that this started with from a lovely bouquet of flowers given to me on the birthday of our son.The rest is memory and magic!

"An Evening Stroll" ... my newest post ... a lovely evening stroll along the beach at the #OuterBanks in #Corolla, #NorthCarolina ... captured in July of 2020 with the Nikon D7000.

Golden sunlight bathes a serene beach, with gentle waves lapping at the shore under a dramatic sky. People stroll along the sand, enjoying the tranquil evening atmosphere.

Some of my favorite ways to daydream about the beach are remembering early morning wave-watching with a cup of coffee in my hands and my bare toes in the still-cool sand. Another is sitting under an umbrella on a sunny day with a good book in my lap. But one of the best is an evening stroll, watching the way the light lights up the sky.

This is the beautiful "Hilltop Farm" ... based on a photo I snapped in Suffield, Conn. in 2014. It turns out, the barn has a wonderful history and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the "Hilltop Farm Historic District." The barn was constructed by George Hendee, of Indian Motorcycle fame, in 1914 and was a modern marvel of its time.

This is the beautiful "Hilltop Farm" ... based on a photo I snapped on the day we picked our little Buddy up from his breeder in Massachusetts back in 2014, the barn itself was in Suffied, Conn. It turns out, the barn has a wonderful history and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the "Hilltop Farm Historic District." The barn was constructed by George Hendee, of Indian Motorcycle fame, in 1914 and was a modern marvel of its time.

I mention Buddy because I'd love everyone to send out a little prayer for him. He was just diagnosed with Cushings Disease yesterday, after a couple of years and lots of conversation about it with his vets. My thanks to Dr Butler at Hillside Veterinary Hospital for authorizing and conducting the final test. I started Buddy on his first dose of medicine today ... and will be watching him like a hawk to see how he tolerates it.
