Roses for the Ladies

Adrienne, family, friends, and all of you, the Pbase PaD girls.
Especially dear Jeanne.

Wow!!! Dreamy and beautiful. NICE!

Thank you all for your comments.
The background is black card.
The lighting is the lounge centre light, and a desklamp with a daylight bulb.
The smoke is from a plumbers smoke stick, the sort they use to check the ventilation for a boiler.

CHris, what a wonderful way for me to start my day! I am SOOO tried, had a bad day at work yesterday and dread going today, didn't sleep well and as I sit here this morning with my coffee, I see your name at the top of my favorites, click in and find THIS! Did you KNOW I neeed this??

I so wish my PAD friends all lived near me, I don't think I'd ever have a bad day again! Thank you, sweetie!! You are more beautiful than these roses!

Nice idea - looks almost like a watercolour on the thumbnail.

Sorry, pressed 'enter' half way through message! Was going to add that I didn't realise that was smoke - what a novel and effective idea! The roses certainly look beautiful and moody - this is really quite exceptional, Chris.

You old smoothie, Chris! You thought you'd wow the ladies too, eh? :-)

Thank you Nikki, I can only smell the smoke which gave me a headache.
Guest 14-Jan-2004 11:11
A beautiful photo, Chris, those roses look gorgeous. I can almost smell that heady scent!
