bonus shot: carnations

I've been working furiously on the new book, and needed a break, so I thought I'd go outside and take photographs of the bouquet of carnations that Alex picked out for me during her last grocery store run with her dad.

(Also, I was sick of looking at the picture of that shot of rum in my previous post.)

I think carnations are often considered a pretty pedestrian flower, but my, they do come into their own when you look at them up close, don't they?
