Winter Photo Walk with Leland, Dec. 15, 2013 - Portland's International Rose Test Garden, No. 5

Several miniature roses--once frozen, now thawed--caught my eye. Hope you enjoy both images.
 

This particular one I like better as black and white.
 

This one I like better in color.

Color mixed with grays and silvers--her purple hat and his purple shirt, her green polka dots on her pants and the green bicycle safety lane behind them, her golden yellow shoes and her jacket, the red stripe on his camera strap and around the lens, along with the rusty reds on the building--as well as all sorts of shapes and lines, all of this makes me happy. Their checking to make certain that the image on the memory card  is what they want, not just a random snap.
