Reaching for the Winter Sun

It is the middle of winter where I live, and we are currently going through a rather arctic blast with grey leaden skies, fog and winds that cat cut through you when they whip up. In spite of that, it was mild enough for a winter day yesterday to go out, so I went for a walk. Unlike today, there were actually blue skies and sunshine.

 

Whilst I was out, I came across a wonderful vibrant pink rose on a thorny bush, its face turned from me to reach for the winter sun. In spite of the fact that it was quite shrunken, the bloom was such a brilliant colour that it caught my eye from across the road and I crossed over to see it. Luckily I had my camera with me!

 

It just shows that even in the heart of winter, there is still beauty and colour to be found!

 

I hope this brightens your day, regardless of whether you are in the middle of winter or summer.
