My email was hacked and so everyone in my contacts got sent a spam which might have been a virus. The first I knew of it was opening my mail to see I had one hundred new messages. Most were fortunately saying the spam could not be delivered, so happily most friends and contacts obviously have pretty good security.
I had another couple from friends who thought it looked dodgy and wanted to know if I had sent it; one saying thank-you and how nice to hear from me; one from a friend who couldn’t open it and was mustard-keen to know what it was about.
It wasn’t the account I use here, and hopefully, it won’t have made its way to any other of my email addresses.
I contacted the service provider who promptly blocked my account. The next stage, getting a new code to reset my password, took far longer than the promised few minutes.
While I was waiting, instead of getting on with the work I should be doing now, I played with another photograph of the roses I posted earlier. In the end, I settled for a version which made me think of a book cover for a slightly creepy novel
Here is my original photo and the adjusted version:
Beautiful! I somehow liked the winter version more. 🙂
Sorry to hear of the spam problem, pleased its sorted though, how these things happen is beyond me.
I like the winter view best, its moody, but quite beautiful.
Ah yes….as a writer of mysteries I agree with the cover possibilities of the winter rose pic but I just love the “happy” of the adjusted rose photo.

Slightly dark person that I am it’s the moody winter one which sings to me!
Yes, I like it too. But I was quite amazed at how much it could be transformed.
I think the original looks like a dark, gothic book cover.
Interesting that spam could be used as a tool to renew friendship 😀
So all I need to do now is write the gothic novel… 🙂
I can’t chose between them, its such fun playing with images – you never know what will turn up!
Send both to Ruth Rendell. Or A.S. Byatt.
That made me laugh!
Isobel that innocent little flower brings to mind Edward Scissorhands! Sorry about your email 😦
Thanks. I think it’s sorted now. I’m lucky; it’s the first time I have had this problem.
I’d actually be lurked into reading a novel with such a rose on the cover page.
Left or right? And I guess you meant lured, though lurked made me smile!
