The year will soon be over, but the flowers bought for Christmas are still going strong, buds are opening and, together with the Christmas tree, bringing much-needed colour to counteract the dull, wet weather out of doors.
Some of the roses are a lovely dusky grey-pink, just the colour that I keep trying to grow in the garden, with little success. It is also difficult to capture this colour on my camera, natural light is so low at this time of year that the camera tries to compensate and artificial light also distorts.
We are crossing the road to bring in the New Year with our neighbours. There will be great company, food, drink and dancing.I'v polished my dancing shoes (and I'll be taking my camera!)
A Happy New Year to you both - may 2012 be a good one for you. Lovely roses.

Happy New Year, dear Rosemary!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
