The Last Rose by jankoos

The Last Rose

When I let the dogs out this morning I noticed the frost had caused my remaining roses to lose their petals - they froze off. I snipped some of the dead heads off and then noticed this one sitting on the frozen bird bath.

I poured warm water on the bird bath several times today, melting the ice, but the birds seemed more interested in the suet.

I was pleased to see this on the trending and popular pages - thanks for your support, friends.
this is so lovely FAV

@bristolrose - thanks Kathryn - I was pretty excited to see the rose on the bird bath - much better than anything else I captured today. Fav appreciated, too.

@pflaume - thanks so much for the fav and the nice comment, Lisa. The frost provides awesome photo ops. Have you seen any yet this fall?

@jankoos We have had a couple days for nice frost and I got some photos but none quite made the 365 cut. Looking forward to the next season and the photo ops it offers!
