Roses

OK - I'm done. 

Gifts have been bought and wrapped; food has been ordered; rooms have been decorated. One child is due back in the Shire this evening, and the other will turn up sooner or later. 

Tomorrow I'm expecting a large grocery delivery, a husband bearing turkey, and a macro lens.

I bought these roses today, on my positively last trip into Stratford before the festivities kick off. Unfortunately I'd forgotten that it's the solstice and by the time I got home the light had completely disappeared, so I wound up having to shoot them under the kitchen lights. LED downlighters: total nightmare. Anyway, after much faffing around in Lightroom, this is my offering for Tiny Tuesday, which this week is being hosted by osuzanna. The other entries are here.

"Hold on... did she say macro lens....?"
