Rosy glow, or glowy rose?

I took a lovely walk today, and took my camera and everything–but I had removed the memory card, and forgot to replace it, so–no pictures from today. To compensate, I went looking through my files, and decided to post these. I took them some time ago, of roses in my back yard.

This looks like a pink rose, right? But if you look closely, you can see yellow tones as well, particularly in the center.

Because of my obsession with backlighting, one day I layed down on my back underneath a bloom that was facing down, so I could get the light behind it. I’d never looked at a rose like that before, but I was richly rewarded, with this:

Now that I know what can happen, I often peer up from under at flowers. The next time you see someone lying on their back gazing up at a flower–perhaps it will be me 🙂
