The last dance.

The last dance.
Another mild sunny day which I have rather wasted by setting Roomba in action upstairs, doing my usual Wednesday kitchen clean and taking delivery of groceries. My most exciting activity was cutting my hair. I was putting it off hoping that hairdressers would be working again soon but I think it's still a few weeks away so I bit the bullet. A bit raggy and shaggy but much better.
My outdoor activity was bundling prickly branches of shrub roses into the back of the car. Even managed to fit in the forsythia prunings. More forsythia to go and a lot of periwinkle to be cleared out. Then I'll get a garden team I've used before to take out the shrub roots.
Photographed my withered tulips for the last time. Now the sun is pretty well set I'm going to walk round the block just to take myself out of the house for a little bit. If there's any sun tomorrow I must get out again with the camera.

I can't believe you're photographing dying tulips while the ones in my garden haven't even flowered yet!

Even in the throes of death, this tulip manages to look quite elegant and it seems to be posing especially for you. The detail and sharpness are spot on as always and I like the grey background, which complements the colours in the flower nicely!

I hope you have a sunny day tomorrow and manage to get out with your camera.

I think it's a tango Jean, and it's beautifully captured!
Hopefully the sun is shining and you can enjoy a day out with the camera today.

Outdoor shoots are always a good time to get out of the house. ;)
The beauty of the ephemeral could hardly be captured more effectively.
Really gorgeous, Jean!
