The days of "near spring" weather continue here in the southern Rocky Mountains.  Last week, a wet, soaking snow fell, providing much needed moisture to the earth and to the bulbs, shrubs, and trees that will soon be in bloom.  But there is nothing like seeing the bright and bold during the waiting period.  We are lucky to have access to flowers literally from around the globe, introducing brilliance to both interior spaces and exterior landscapes.  As always, my search for a variety of backdrops continues, so the roses here ended up "on the rocks".

Although rocks like these don't hold the color that roses do, they complement the different colors of roses below in fascinating ways. 

Thanks to Dianne, Donna C., Jean & Sam, Barbara F. R., Victoria, TTT, Connie, Ann A., Steve, Bill & Sue, Wayne, and Diane for kind comments this week, and to Ingrid and Robert for providing the inspiration!

until next Monday,
