Rose

I used to not like roses that much, I think partly because they were such a popular flower and sometimes I tended to go for the not-so-popular things. But then I started trying to draw roses for art at school, and I realised just how amazing they are!

My mum extracted this one from the middle of a rose bush in our garden, where it had grown hidden from view. I love the subtle colours.

I practised the violin today for the first time in a while, played some American tunes from a book I have. Slightly rusty but it surprises me how quickly it all comes back!
