1: single petal rose

~this week my theme will be flora - oh shoosh all you naysayers - I heard you groan - ha ha - I promise it won't be all pretty flowers~

[Paul J]

Too late, already a pretty.

[Maggiemae]

But how can you have ugly flowers? I can see all those sharp pointy things that grab me as I go past! Sweet wee single petalled rose!

[PhotoCrazy]

Lovely!

[Call me Joe]

Great theme choice- at least 365 will smell pretty good this week:)!

[Taffy]

I'll look forward to what you post as your flowers! Off to a lovely start with great lighting.

I am sure we will be delighted with your flora theme !! This is a beautiful capture of this single petal rose -- so like the wild "dog-rose " - lovely focus ,and dof , wonderful light with a bokeh background and great composition ! fav

@beryl it was in the gardens at a Rose Nursery Beryl - it could be a type of wild rose

@maggiemae flora is not just flowers Miss Maggiemae :)

[Sally Ings]

I like the variegated colour on the petals.

[Graeme Stevens]

If it's all pretty flowers I may have to hurt someone. Nonetheless, great shot, excellent DOF and stuff.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens you should know me well enough to know that pretty flowers would drive me crazy for too long too hahahahaha

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied huh. I was looking forward to hurting someone. There's always another day I guess...sigh

[Annie D]

@graemestevens there might be one that will make you could hurt people so don't despair

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied what? Make sense please.

[Annie D]
