Red roses and hearts can be found everywhere in time for Valentine's Day, whether or not you love it or loathe the day. At the moment, I am loving these stenciled red roses that I discovered a couple of weeks ago on white-washed walls near Brick Lane. I've also captured the love-bird paste-up a few blocks away. I love how the rose appears to be growing out of the pavement and brings a little bit of colour to a cloudy day and a plain wall. Without looking twice, you may not even notice this almost insignificant red rose.
