Would You Sleep In This Bed Of Roses?
No photo quote de jour today. Instead a riddle:
If a rose bed isn't always a bed of roses, what is?
After photographing the endless beauty of roses all summer, I felt woefully inadequate. What else could see and capture that hadn't been done a million times before and better? How could I tap into my inner artist? I tried to think like an Impressionist painter like Monet. What would he see, smell, hear, taste, touch as a painter that I could access with a camera? It came down to conveying a mood. I wanted to capture a dreamy rose bed. Would you sleep in this bed of roses?

Good to know. Thanks!

May I sleep beside them instead? They're too lovely to be crushed under my weight.

Okay, and that way you avoid any thorns
