the very thought of it drives me mad...

"If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad." ~Andrew Wyeth

I don't normally start with quotes, but this quote has been running through my head a lot lately.  I can feel Andrew Wyeth's pain.  My rose bed is brilliant, but I cannot capture the colors in photos.  I can only share my feeble attempts.


 
 

Please notice my planting partner posing in the background of the last photo.   I did my best to share the myriad of color combinations in the rose bed.   Still the thought of it drives me mad. 

Gene I hoped you enjoyed the post.  Sorry I kept you waiting:)

  4. I know that same pain. I never can capture those beautiful colors. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Not to mention the same thing happens when I am dyeing wool. I just can't capture the colors I see in my head.
    Your gardens are simply stunning. I bet you just stand and stare at all of that beauty. It was worth the wait.
