Project 365/7: This rose bush is in the neighbor's yard. It has been there a very long time, planted by the original owners of the house. It has been featured in my blog several times, usually when I have something bad to say about the current owners of the house and rose bush. Like when they didn't cut it back and branches whacked me in the face whenever I practiced heelwork with the dogs. Or when they did cut it back while a pair of cardinals was actively trying to maintain a nest in it and caused the nest to ultimately be abandoned.
But until now, I've never taken any winter photos of the bare branches. I wish the bird at the left side of the photo was more visible. On most days, summer or winter, there are many birds hanging out in the rose bush. Before I attempted to take today's pictures, there were probably half a dozen of them. I apologize to them for the rude interruption!

I love this picture! It's such an unusual view. I've been trying to take some pictures from different perspectives lately, just to see how they look. I might have to try one through the tree to see if I can get something as interesting as this!

I definitely want to try some more rose bush pics: with the DSLR, when the leaves start coming in, when the birds are more accustomed to my presence, change of seasons, different times of day, and so on.
