A rose is still a rose

Even though my old bouquet is still keeping well, as you can see in my Friday Blip, a new bouquet did arrive on Thursday and it has another pale pink rose. It was very dark and grey today and I've only taken 6 shots today, only of the new flowers. So another rose close-up as a Blip today, this bud is opening so nice.

Thanks so much for all your Abstract Thursday entries last Thursday, many of which did have still lifes and many of which were actually abstract without fast filters or apps, very well done ! This coming Thursday is the first Thursday of the new month, so as usual there's no theme and you can faff or not  faff theme-free to your delight :-) The tag will be AT180 !

Here's the list of last week AT specials:
gordo      for a colourful unfaffed still life abstract
DonnaWanna    for Zen stone piles with faces
Terrifo      for a still life with a great effect
GEO2B     for a great abstract viewpoint on a book
otornblom  for clothes hangers turning abstract

Thank you again for all the entries, looking forward to next Thursday's ones!

And thanks so much for your kind comments and stars for yesterday's Blip !
