Roses in Pottery on Porch
While going through old photos last week, I discovered this photograph I had taken in the 1980’s on my parents’ porch. I didn’t really get into art photos until the digital camera age, but one could say this was the beginning of my discovering that photography doesn’t just have to be portraiture. The pottery was made by me; what luscious glazes this pot had!
For more photos with a bit or a lot of red, visit Ruby Tuesday:

Agree with using the views from the past. These roses are pretty and add an artistic view to the porch, and the nice tan. The slight ruby enhances the tan greatly, far more than the amount of color would seem to...

Oh if you did not say that its an old photo I wouldn't even notice, great shot!
Here is my Ruby Tuesday entry.
EG Wow! says
You made the pot? Something else I didn't know about you!
This photo definitely shows your artistic flair.
Margaret Gosden says
A nice touch for Ruby Tuesday - good find!
Miranda says
It's a very nice shot! Im so thankful for digital cameras, its so much cheaper than paying for photos. Plus you can take a million and pick the best ;)

>you can take a million and pick the best
Exactly!
Ellie says
Those are so gorgeous - because they are so real - so grounded - so full and heavy with business of life!
Paz says
Beautiful bouquet.
You made the vase? Wow! Very nice!

I like the film look of the photo and the softness it gives the whole image.
That you made the vase makes the shot even more interesting.
Was the picture taken then to show off the roses or the vase? :)
I hope you still have the vase.
leoraw says
My father might have the vase...I'm not sure. I remember it was too heavy, as early pots often are.
luna miranda says
this image reminds me of the photos i took using film way back when.:P

Beautiful roses and I LOVE the vase. Your good eye obviously developed long before the invention of digital cameras.

I would love to make my own pottery one day. I bet the roses smell good!
Patti V. says
Great photo from the good old days, Leora ;-)
Ralph has scanned hundreds of our old pictures. He has more patience than I!
I love the vase you created. I admire your artistic talents. Carletta asked if the photo was taken to show off the roses, or your vase and I was wondering the same.
Happy Ruby Tuesday ~ thanks for stopping by my place.
leoraw says
I can't remember! Probably to show off both the roses and the vase. But now the porch is the most important part to me... it's my childhood porch.
Patti V. says
ah, childhood memories evoked by that photo.
;-)
mizhelle says

Amazing picture taken with a non digital camera!
Nice vase too!
annie says
Seriously, I love the vase. I hope you are still potting.
leoraw says
I wish I were. When my youngest is in high school, I'm going to make it a priority to do either pottery or painting (both would fabulous!).
AuntieE says
I really love going through the old photos. It does seem to bring back wonderful memories. Great
pot, You still have it?
amanda says
That's wonderful Leora do you still have the pot? I can understand that porch holding importance for you... I miss my grandparents home very much it holds great memories.

sheress says
The glaze is very pretty and that is what I was focusing on while looking at your picture.
Stop by for a quick visit.

In the old photo
roses still look fresh, as if
you picked them at dawn.

What a beautiful photo, Leora. I like how the pot catches the light, and love the contrasts of the tones and textures.
