Protection
When I looked at this sweet rose, my first thought was that the petals were gently folded over the centre in a gesture of protection. We all know that of course they will have opened and become a lovely flower in full bloom, but meanwhile the feeling of this being a caring gesture lingered each time I looked at the photograph. I couldn’t think of any better title and besides, we all need the feeling of being cared for and protected at times, no matter how old or young we are. I thought we could look at this and feel that someone caring and kind is protecting us in just this way. Isn’t that a warm thought for today? I send warm, caring hugs to each of you, my friends.

That flower collection is really growing … I wonder what your theme is for 2022 …..
New Year coming up and lets hope we all stay healthy as everything else is easy …. HUGS from Down Under
Thanks Len, for the comment and the kind thoughts. As for the theme for 2022, are you getting bored with this one? Starting in January, I will be keeping with the same one, which is to feature flowers, photographed with the little vintage lens, making a short comment, trying to bring a bright spot to people’s day, as long as the pandemic is causing disruption in people’s lives.
Beautful, Ellie. Thank you.
Thank you, dear Janet.
It is lovely Ellie. And you can almost feel a set of arms around you to give you the protection that you mentioned the flowers giving to the center. Such a contrast to the pure white petals to the orange yellow center. Thanks again for sharing Hope you and Steve have a great day.
Thanks, Linda, I am so glad that you liked both the image and the sentiment. I hope you both have a lovely day.
