Autumn light glitters
A new day fresh from rose folds
Gathered by shadows.
The stillness of the morning caught my breath, and had me dashing back inside for my camera. These were taken last week in the garden, where the roses continue to bloom with summers abandon, despite the fading light of autumn. I’m writing this from the comfort of a deep sofa, somewhere in a lounge in the depths of Gatwick airport, trying to summon the tranquility of early morning sun in the garden.
We’re headed off for a couple of weeks, and so I won’t be commenting as often as usual on everyone’s blogs, but promise to catch up as soon as I can.

Aah I wondered where you had disappeared to Seonaid … oh you lucky lady .. Enjoy it all 🙂
Gorgeous photo of dewy rose .
Lovely images Seonaid – it’s that time of year; when the flowers still bloom but the evening’s cool leaves them in a coat of dew each morning. I’m headed out this week for several early morning shoots and hope the weather and doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy your journey!
The roses are so beautiful. Ours continue to bloom, too. Wishing you a safe and fun-filled trip!

Enjoy your well-deserved break, Seonaid. You are currently missing out on heavy rain and blustery showers. My own last gasp cluster of yellow roses are still hanging in but no sun to glint off them like your pretty ones. 🙂
