Wooden Roses

A rather nice display Rosalyn.

Thank you very much David.

A beautiful and unusual stillife, Rosa ! Like the light very much !

Thank you very much Ulrich.

They do look like tiny gold roses, Rosa, and the new shoots when they first appear resemble tiny green shaving brushes.

A good description of when they first appear Amelia! The tree is at least 45 years old and needs cutting back every few years.

A beautiful still-life study, Rosa. I love the warm, golden light. Your great use of light and shadow emphasizes the three-dimensionality of the wooden roses. When I saw the thumbnail of this photograph, I thought you had been gathering pine cones. Cheers, Joe

Thank you very much Joe. There are hundreds of cones still to be picked up across the garden! I should be out there doing it now! Cheers, Rosa.

I look forward to seeing the still life you create with the pine cones.

Good work..
Have a lovely day.

Thank you June.
Good evening.

Absolument magnifique avec ces tintes et superbement rendue..!
Bonne et agreable journee printanière.!

Thank you for your very kind comments Malik.
Good evening.

Nicely captured Rosalyn you can save them for part of your Christmas decorations, enjoy your wide open space !!!

Thank you Peter. I have picked a lot of them up and put them in a nice bowl. My neighbour is in the process of cutting a tree down. It's a single Leylandii tree that is enourmous! He's doing as much as he can before the tree surgeons come and finish it off!

His problem will be the large area of dead soil is he going to have the stump ground out

I doubt it Peter. It's a very big garden and the tree is right at the bottom where it adjoins a field. It will make that corner of my garden much lighter.

I think they look more like chocolate than wood. Of course that could be because we've run out of chocolate at home.............

A lovely still-life image Rosa.........the golden light and the detail. A nice background too.

Do you have a log fire? These would burn beautifully and smell lovely.......or maybe save them for a BBQ in the summer?

Never run out of chocolate Keith, haha! I was beginning to think they may look more like cabbages ;-)) Thank you for your very kind comments.

I hadn't thought of burning them. It's an enclosed log burner, but I can imagine they would smell good on an open fire. The BBQ sounds ideal. Let's hope we get a good summer :-))

En effet... cela fait son effet et c'est très beau Rosalyn, merci de le partager !****************

Thank you very much Jocelyne.
Good evening.

A natural still life with gorgeous light and colours.

Thank you very much Jaap.

They look like roses indeed, you can do a fine decoration with them !

Thank you Isabel. I have gathered a lot from the grass. They look nice in a decorative bowl.

YES! This DOES look like wooden Roses, Rosa..... !

Thank you Sarah....my second though was cabbages, but I prefer roses ;-))

Certainly worth a shot!

Thank you very much Andy.

very nice pic and find

Easy to find Annemarie. They are all over my lawn ;-))
Thank you for your kind comment.

They are so lovely and you have chosen a very effective and suitable background. Larches are such lovely trees.

Thank you Jean. It is a huge tree but I wouldn't be without it. It just needs regular trimming.

dennen appels - rozen die niet verwelken zo'n grote boom (en ook larix) houden erg veel licht tegen-die kunnen heel oud worden maar ooit moeten ze om,...Larix valt nogal mee die heeft bladverliezende naalden-maar leylandii is een echte conifeer die helemaal dicht groeit!
Groetjes Rosalyn !

I have collected many of them Fred. They now sit prettily in a bowl.

Superbe. Nicole.

Merci beaucoup Nicole.

Sí que lo parecen por su forma. Parecen más a las rosas por sus ondulaciones que al formato de piña. Curioso, es poco visto en fotografía. Pena de árbol ¿Noooo? Buen miércoles, Rosa.

I have gathered a lot of the pretty cones and they look good in a bowl. The tree will never be cut down while I am around Jose Manuel, but it does need cutting back regularly. I still have a swing hanging from it that my granddaughter still uses...and sometimes, so do I :-)
Happy Wednesday.

I LOVE CONES

They are fascinating Pam and very pretty.

So very pretty, Rosa !!!

Merci beaucoup Marie-claire.

superbe***************************belle journée mon amie ! bisous☺4

Merci beaucoup Valeriane.
Belle journée. Bisous.

Nice golden "roses"!!!!!!

Thank you Nouchet.
Good evening :-)

They are beautiful and perfectly photographed! I never before looked that close at larch cones, they definitely merit a close look!

After pruning the tree they covered the lawn Gudrun. It's the first time I have photographed them, so thank you for your kind comment.

Pretty cones! My grandmother would have gathered enough of them to glue all over some object or another. A lampshade...an old cabinet...styrofoam balls for Christmas ornaments. I still miss her funny little projects!

Aw some great ideas there Diane!! :-))

Very good...

Diese kleinen Zapfen sind sehr schöne Motive immer liebe Rosa und wie schön sie mit goldigen Glanz glänzen,sehr schön ist dieser Anblick :))

Wünsche Dir noch einen schönen Sonntag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
