Hello, my friends! I’ve brought you a bouquet of the pink rose “Else” for your Valentine’s Day weekend. (In fact, I photographed these nearly a year ago but realized this was a fitting time for their overdue debut.)Romantic bits and pieces for some new mood boards to accompany them, including a vintage postcard purchased from the Paris flea market last year.Although I shot these well before the France trips, the feathers add a bit of Belle Epoque flavor. I must already have been dreaming of Paris.Roses will probably always be my favorite subject to photograph, in a studio still life or in a fragrant garden. (My current Lightroom catalogue tells me I have over 12,000 images tagged with “rose”, and that only represents the ones I’ve had time to keyword.)This week, I wish you joy and abundant roses. Valentine’s Day is not just for sweethearts – surprise someone deserving with a gorgeous bouquet, especially yourself.
And thank you very much to everyone who has signed up for the newsletter mailing list. I look forward to getting the first one out to you soon! In case you missed the link, here it is.
(A few other rose posts you might have missed here, here, here and here)

Oh how beautiful! I can almost smell them. Thank you so much, dear g! I hope you and David have a wonderful St. Valentine's Day. xoxo
Such a beautifully dainty and delicate display of my favorite peachy pink color :) Thank you.
Be still my heart!! G, how do you do it!? I could smell the roses instantly – seriously. I am transported each time I view your lovely photography. The perfectly shaped buds, bits of glorious treasure, and faint traces of handwriting that steal into our hearts. All shown to us in the softest of backgrounds. Happy Valentine's Day to one who brings such beauty into all our lives.
Hugs,

Wow Georgianna! What stunning images! Thank you too for your lovely comment about the flower dress :-).
Very romantic and sweet images I love your touch!
How delightful! Than you for sharing G.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful roses and photos. I am never disappointed when I visit here. There is much beauty, romance, and joy of life.
Thank you ~ FlowerLady
Beautiful soft, pink roses G and I love the collages you've put together. It's always amusing to see so many women picking up flowers with their groceries near special events like Valentine's Day. Makes me wonder if they are 'in case' bouquets; the ones you buy yourself in case no one else gets you any.
I hope you'll be able to visit for our special Valentine's tea coming up; part of my post is inspired by you.
Judith
LOVE you collage shots, g. Happy Valentine's!

So much beauty here G that I am ooohing and ahhhing out loud here. OMG these photos are gorgeous! You are such an amazing artist my friend.

I think it's the other way around — the roses are having a romance with you, or it's a mutual admiration society ! (Love it that you have 12000 rose photos catalogued) xo
Thank you Georgianna ! I love this! Thanks for sharing ! sweet sweet!

Dear Georgianna,
Absolutely beautiful!… the pink roses you have shown are so gorgeous and I love the way they work in with all your romantic paraphernalia.
I am really enjoying the month of February with the beautiful calender of yours, sitting on my desk with the pink roses that I can admire everyday.
Thanks for sharing all this beauty and I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend
Hugs

These roses are beautiful! I don't know why I have so much trouble photographing roses. They are a challenge to me! One day I will figure them out, and I will learn bit by bit by checking out perfect shots!
Happy Valentine's to you!
So pretty! Roses are my favourite too, I particularly love the soft blue background to the close up shots.

Ooooh Georgianna!!! How beautiful these pink roses are! I love the way you catched them with your magical eye. Your pictures always have something different which touches my heart, I swear! I really think your photos should be published in the beautiful Victorian magazine. I will send my favorite magazine from German a note to lead them to you. The whole world should see your photography. It's so beautiful! I'm sorry i've been out for a while but i'm back lol. Enjoy the roses! Up to 12.000 more rose tags LOL!
hugs and blessings,
Ingeborg
