After I had gone through a rough morning, my husband brought home a half dozen red and white roses to cheer me up. The next morning, before sunrise, it began snowing. Being up at that hour anyways and eager to take pictures, I took the roses and some boughs trimmed off our Christmas tree outside, found an ideal spot to set up, and began taking various pictures. This was one of the best of the bunch, taken towards the middle of my little photo shoot, after some snow had gathered on the rose blossoms.
