A Shy Apricot Beauty - a photo on Flickriver

            I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful apricot rose loom which is on a bush which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1920s Art Deco stuccoed brick maisonette villa.  She was hanging her head, protecting herself from the sunshine, or perhaps she was just being shy.  Either way, I managed to capture her beauty by kneeling down before her and snapping away. 

Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which is now bleeding well and truly into a wetter and greyer than average spring, however on the rare sunny days we are currently getting, the showing of flowers and blossoms is beautiful.
