This past weekend, was in Cottage Grove, OR visiting my Grandma…
She, at 89 still cultivates gorgeous flowers including roses…
I like to take pictures in her garden when I visit…she loves the perfect images of the rose as it is meant to be…I love the imperfect, the weathered, the wilted, the textures, etc, with the light hitting them just so…
Here are my favorite weathered roses…dreamy, creamy, blurry and a little bit like strawberry ice cream!
Full set including the more “perfect”:

Shooting notes: all images shot with the 28mm f1.8 wide open(ie f1.8) on my Rebel XTi…
Bunches of shows coming up!
