    1. WEll, um, gee ….. *sighs* ….. can you NOT practice self control at all, Shrimp? Even this glorious Rose you had to chew on? *another sigh* *throws up hands* …. human version of tale flap! I do still LOVE you, though. *third sigh* Love, MB

  7. Ah, yes! 🙂 I see. Just to think and imagine the wonder
    of reds and yellows giving birth to the new orange on the block. 🙂
    She dazzles, as well as she blends in with her primary loves of life and light.

    1. The new orange on the block …. how intriguing, and the first thing that came to my mind is orange signifies CREATION. Interesting, indeed, that you got that from my post today, Uncle Tree!! (((HUGS))) LadyP

    1. That is my dilemma always when I see gorgeous Nature. She speaks to my Heart, and how to describe what I am experiencing is not eay. Many times, I say WOW in comments, because I honestly don’t have words to describe what I am feeling. Thank you for your wonderful comment, Dana. Love, Amy

    1. YellowCable, I just rescued this comment from my spam. I am having so much trouble with WP lately that I am now writing a rant post. I am really upset! (((HUGS))) Amy

    1. Hmmmm ….. I thought my likes were down. Grrrr …. Now something else! I tell you true, Jackie, if it were not for my WP friends, I wouldn’t be here on WP. I am finding blogs in my reader that I am NOT following, and the blogs I am following are not there. Now I have an issue with likes. Also, when I am creating a post, I get about one sentence written and I am timed out, needing to sign back in. Honestly, I really am having troubles over here. *sighs* Now I am beginning to sound like M-R, LOL which I guess is a good think cause I just LOVE that woman! Hehehehehehe (((HUGS))) Amy

      1. I love her too and yeah it’s a good thing! If it were not for complainers not much would get done. It does not always help to complain but it’s better to do that then stay silent. If you know what I mean. 🙂

      2. Oh yes, I know what you mean. IF my probs keep up, I will contact support. I also am finding some of my friends in spam. Is WP ever going to get it right? Thanks, Jackie, for the support!!! 🙂

    1. Charlie, I honestly did not see the flame effect until I started to edit this rose. I saw the colors and the shape, yes, and then I saw the flicker affect as in a flame. I wowed out loud. I agree with you …. it truly is an amazing symbol of HOPE. (((HUGS))) Amy

      2. I understand, Alexander. In order to experience the entire realm of emotions, we must walk on the dark side and the light side. My Rose called Love has a white (light) side and a red side (dark). I pondered upon this, and I was told, Love really does have two sides and in order for us to understand Love to the fullest, we have to experience both the Light and the dark. Treading in the dark hurts. Be of good cheer, though, IF you are up to it, there is a Lesson in this for you to learn. BIG (((HUGS))) coming your way! Love, Amy

      4. As well as I do, Alexander. Yet when those Lessons come along, they sure are not easy. I wish you all the very best this time around. (((HUGS))) Amy

      1. Amy, I am relaxing now. Came back and couldn’t connect to the internet. My modem went bad. I know how you feel. It was 8 yrs for us without a break and working. Did have lots of fun. HUGS Kathy

    1. Thank you, Linda!!! I noticed the “flame” when I edited this Rose and that is when the words came. Just like that. Have a wonderful holiday, my friend!! Love, Amy

  28. I think your photos explain your mind.
    It is wonderful, it is beautiful and it is gentle.
    gentle … the Bokeh of your photo makes me that feeling.
    It is very nice for me.

    1. I attempt to blend the Bokeh so that it is not harsh and it too merges with the main objective of the photograph. I don’t like harsh Bokeh, so I deliberately set my f/stop in a way to get that soft feel, flowy feeling. Thank you, Chun, for noticing!!! Love, Amy

  30. Lovely! I will keep this image. And words close. Thank you Amy! I don’t think I clicked the notify me buttons today. Sorry I always forget, but just know that I love you and will try to check back when I can. My days and weeks are short for time for a while so may take me a week to check back, but don’t feel you must respond to my posts. I know you are very busy! I just can’t say I LOVE you enough today! 🙂 ❤ Denise

    1. You have brought tears to my eyes, Denise. It is not often I see you, and to see you here so much today brings such JOY to my Heart. I understand about the time thing, believe me. I had to take days off just lately, reeling from exhaustion and almost wanting to throw the towel in here. It is so much work to do what I do, almost every day. I have begun to cut down, not post as much, and limit the days that I am doing this as I am doing right now. The energy has been brutal, with a capital B, and I must stay grounded being with Nature. I haven’t done so today and plan on it. I Love you, too, Denise!!!! (((HUGS))) Amy
