Days of Wine and Roses

"They are not long, the days of wine and roses." - Ernest Dowson

Well maybe not, but they were long enough for me. For the past three years, I've challenged myself to capture the rosy hues of February's celebrations; yet, despite all the Valentine's Day displays and the lovely birthday gifts, it isn't easy finding color in the depths of our Wisconsin winters. Still, I've made it to the end of another February with a extra day this year, so I'll end the month the way it began: "Roses are red, but I'm missing the blue -- the green, the yellow, the purple too!" Here's hoping for a colorful spring!
