romance unfolding

Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 15 November 2007 in Plant & Nature.

Wow, my 100th photo. I remember thinking back when I started this photoblog that I couldn't possibly have enough images to make it past a couple weeks. Thank you aminus3 for being a great hosting service and for the wonderful community I've gotten to know.

The red rose: a symbol for love, and a time-honored way of saying "I love you." This rose is only half blossomed, but soon it will bloom into the romance of the century.

As of today, I am going to be taking a sort of a break from am3. I have preloaded photos until who knows when, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to get to a computer and visit everyone. I will definitely try my best though!
