Some bloggers photograph landscapes, other’s shoot birds or the
beauty around them. I’m drawn to the
drama I find through my lens. Roses
offer drama in spades.
Armed with camera in hand, I’ll be in the valley from after
dinner on today. If we get there early
enough, I’ll be able to catch a few shots of roses before the Ice Cream
Social. Then, for the next three days, I’ll
be out in the walkways with my camera on macro trying to catch an entertaining
rose for you.
In July there’s Comic Con.
The ticketing procedures last year were so convoluted that we didn’t get
to go. Comic Con is another source of
wonderful photographs every year, but not for us. This year we got member ID’s, but lost out in
the first round ticketing draft. Later
in the second round, G was able to buy one four day pass and one single day
ticket. Sunday.
I was thinking I could come down to the convention center
one of the afternoons. I could get a
couple of hours in photographing costumes from the sidewalk while G was
inside. We could meet up at dinner time
and have dinner in one of the myriads of good eating spots right there around
the ballpark and the convention center.
I bet I still get some good photographs.
That's a stunning rose, Mage. I can practically smell its fragrant petals. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteRoses offer so much mystery!
ReplyDeleteI love your roses. I would read your page for the roses even if I didn't already love your posts.
ReplyDeleteI like the new look to your comments. Is that your or Blogger?
Tasty rose, and I'm excited to see your Comic Con picts. My sons and I used to go to the ones in Seattle when we lived there. Not as big as yours of course, but satisfying. We got pictures of them with William Shatner once. Fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteI bet you will get some awesome photos sitting outside during Comic Con.....I'm looking forward to all the photos.
ReplyDeleteI do love your roses but I also really love your other photos as well!!!! You have a wonderful gift!!!!
ReplyDeleteLucky you with access to those beautiful roses. I got the book you recommended. I didn't know Hodgeson (?) had written something other than Secret Garden. I got the Kindle version. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteSo excited that you will join the paparazzi at the convention! I think it might be really fun to do kind of a red carpet thing with all of those characters. Lovely lovely thoughts on shooting the rose, too.
ReplyDeleteMage, I soo agree with you about roses. They amaze me. I'm totally jealous that you all are experiencing them now! We'll have to wait a while -- although I have seen some buds, they're small. I'd say we're about 3 weeks from the first flush.
ReplyDeleteI bet you do too. Here's to Roses!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are healthy enough to have loads of fun! Love that rose.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rose. That color is amazing. And I can almost smell the fragrance.
ReplyDeleteRoses also call to me and I love taking photos of them. Comic con AGAIN,,,already... where DOES the time go?
ReplyDeleteI have great faith you'll get good shots wherever you find yourself. Sounds like a plan to me!
