Focusing on Life - 7 of 52

This week in Sally Russick's Focus on Life challenge, Sally challenged us to "enjoy the beauty of flowers."

My first thought, of course, was, "there are no flowers in February."  I half thought of taking pictures of the dormant rose bushes in our yard.

Then I thought of beaded flowers.  I have several of those laying around.

Luckily, my husband solved my problem for me.  He sent me and the kiddo roses and a teddy bear.  (I'll let you decide which was for whom.)


Because I can't resist, here are a few more pictures.  Not only did I enjoy the blooms, but I enjoyed playing in Lightroom.


Please take a few minutes to visit Sally's blog to see the beauty captured by the other participants.

    Valentine roses are so full of love, but I opt for the teddy bear, he looks so soft and squishy, and ready for a hug! Great photos!

    The rose with the teddy bear looks like chocolate! How sweet your husband was to remember both of you. Beautiful effects you got.

    That's a darned cute bear! I'd be half tempted to trade the kids roses for the bear. ;-)
