Tiny Tuesday .....

Valentine Rose.

For Valentine's day R got me this lovely wee rose plant.  The roses on it are no bigger than a navy bean .... quite tiny indeed. 

I have converted to b&w in keeping with the Mono Month Challenge.  However, I thought it would be a shame not to show the beautiful red of the rose itself.  

My squirrel extra is pure black and white. 

And for the Dickens Challenge I have chosen this quotation from Great Expectations:

“Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”
