"A rose by any other name......

.....would smell as sweet"  And these roses do smell sweet.........best display from them in years :)  

Having finished my first exam supervision at 12.30 (gotta love a student who uses every available minute) I went home, had some lunch then set about a few garden jobs.  Mowing was top of the list, then deadheading, a little weed extraction and finally, layering the cuttings over 'THE' patch from hell in the hope of roasting/starving/depriving of moisture/suffocating the evil weeds.  Time will tell.  

As I was deadheading I saw an opportunity to capture the inner fascination and beauty of the heart of the rose.   ot quite the image I had in mind but I like the slight mystery this creates.

Big day tomorrow - helping set up the early exam then managing the paperwork post exam then a supervision in the afternoon session.  Might be a little tired tomorrow evening - need to get some sleep now whilst I can!  

G'night :D
