Sunday Afternoon Secret’s Out

This rose is called “Secret’s Out” (I posted another of the same name this past week). There’s another rose called “Secret” that is quite pink. I read somewhere that the Secret’s Out rose has no pink. Hm. I see pink here, but only a small bit. I wonder if the name of the rose is about the attempt to get the pink out of the rose. If so, the secret is NOT out. At least not completely.

Death Valley Memories

With Dan back home and talking about Death Valley I can’t help but look more at the work I have from last year. If I’m remembering correctly we arrived home and I had to go directly back to work. That might explain why I have barely worked on photos from that trip. I’m finding both a lot that should be trashed and a lot of things that I love either because I think they are good or because they bring back such wonderful memories. My favorite is when they fit both bills.

It takes me a while, though, to decide if something is truly a “keeper” to the point of printing. This shot here certainly brings back wonderful memories. Getting weather in Death Valley is just so darn amazingly beautiful. I wonder though: maybe you have to be there to really appreciate the image. Who knows?
