    Than that which, withering on the virgin thorn,
    Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness."

    A beautiful photo.
    Nothing more gorgeous, than the rose.

    Too early for roses here still. I would love to have the first one out before my Big Day next Saturday, but.......

    I do have a few from the garden center though.

  8. I don't know whether you've been able to see some of the tributes his colleagues have put together, but I was surprised how overwhelmed with sadness I felt. He was apparently as he appeared on TV: a big guy with a big heart and a big intellect. He will be much missed.

  9. He seemed to have common sense, perspective and compassion. Much, much too young for such a thing.

    I will miss him terribly. Felt like I knew him, even though I never met him.

    Perfect rose for a perfect man.
