Sea Rose

My blog name is Rose Sea and while searching for a little flash of inspiration to do a nice flickr photo mosaic, I decided to use this name...

What I discovered makes me realise that this is a very fitting name for me. I love the places where land and water meet, not just the coast but marsh and bog and fen to. It is patly in the blood - I come from fenland stock some way back.

The muted greys with their hints of blue and green and th soft pinks seem suitable somehow. With the odd flash of that rich green so much a symbol of verdant life. In these places where earth and water meet, it often feels to me that neither of those is the dominant element. The element I always feel most in these places is air. They are places to breath deeply...

Both old fashioned roses with their glorious scents that even I with my dead nose can smell and the salt and seaweed of the sea make me want to breathe as deeply as I possibly can.

I guess this has ended up being a Project Spectrum post after all... and thinking of that - lets do some more Project Spectrum photo mosaics...
