PRETTY AS A ROSE

This weekend I took my mom and my son on our annual pilgrimage to the St. David Monastery's craft fair. The grounds there are so beautiful that I always make sure to bring my camera. Last year I got the best shot of a blooming lily on the pond. This year the flowers were in bloom all over the grounds. I was particularly interested in the wide variety of roses they grow. I liked the picture above so much, that I double matted it and did a bit of rubber stamping on the matte. Now I just have to build a frame to that size, and I have a new hallway picture. It's a shame the scan doesn't pick up how glossy the paper is, or how crisp the image itself is.
