Prehistoric Rose

Prehistoric Rose by Gallery Juana

The oldest fossilized Rose dates back 35 million years.

My husband gave me a bouquet of roses on Valentine's day. I had thought of throwing the dried flowers away, but I have kept them. They seemed so delicate. Yet, each individual flower has continued to hold on. This is the first in the Rose series.

The photo was taken with my Canon G9 with the Sepia setting. I then played around with color in IrfanView. Visit Sepia Scenes for more sepia photos and to learn how to join.

Love the detail in this rose. The rose reminds me of a lovely old lady who still shows that she was once beautiful.

I love the look of the rose. It's beautiful in sepia.

I'm always surprised at how fragile in appearance but how strong, in reality, a dried rose is. Seems like they can last forever. All they need is an occasional gentle dusting. The sepia gives the feeling of old powder rising up.

So delicate looking and I like the pink tone to it, as if it's still hanging in there.

Beautiful sepia! What a lovely gesture from your husband. It's so good to see that they have hold on 'til now. I find that very romantic. Have a great day :)

The final result is lovely; it looks a bit fragile and fossilized! I love the title you gave it!

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
