Grandmother's Colors
Grandmothers and purple just seem to go together, as far as I’m concerned. Maybe it’s because I’m a grandmother and shades of purple are some of my favorite colors.
HDR effects and soft focus added, because grandmother would like it that way.

Lucindawind
you are right ..they are granny colours .. this is gorgeous
Diane Schuster replied
It’s the first thing I thought of when I saw it on the computer screen. It also helped that the rose had been blooming for a day so it looked more mature and had more character. Dee
