Take a chance on me.

I cut this rose to get it out of the way of exquisite bud that I wanted to shoot on one of our roses. I haphazardly laid it on a pile of stones sitting in my driveway (next to my coffee) and went back to photographing the bud. When I was done i noticed the light striking this flower and thought there was something there. None of the bud shots were worth a damn but I liked the way this one came out.

Just goes to show that it pays to be open to the possibility that each moment brings.

Enjoy!

I guess you could say this pic calls for some poetic verse, Hmmm, nothing comes to mind but then I am not a poet. I will leave that up to someone with a gift of words. Great capture, TFS....Cliff

I'm no poet either. The best I can muster:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
But that rose is yellow
And the picture is mellow
