217: Carnival rose

While it is a slight disappointment that the blinds in our new building still don't work and the result is piercing afternoon sunlight blinding our computer screens and has us peeling of the winter layers. It does mean that for 10 to 15 minutes in the late afternoon beautiful (well placed) light spills across my desk. I tried capturing some of it here, by taking a photo of the sole decorative item on my desk. A bright and fuzzy towel/felt rose won by my friend at the carnival adventure we shared earlier in the year. Now if only it was real and lived in a little pot, with all this sunlight I'm sure some kind of photosynthesis process would be happening and it would be a wonderful bloom.
