Red rose

Sorry it's another rose but I thought this was too beautiful to miss. The roses are really blooming very well at the moment and this is dedicated to my late Mum as I am in the process of clearing out the last of her things as the bungalow has now been sold and the new people are moving in on 29 June. So many memories and she loved the roses that my Dad grew for her. We are going to scatter her ashes on 2 July on a rose bed at the chapel which she attended for so many years. By the way as usual SOOC just a frame & my name added
It's a beautiful tribute to your Mum. How did you get the background to look like that? It looks so professional.

@busylady Judith I was thinking that it is 21 June today for some reason and entitled this the longest day by mistake. I'm not sure how I got the background like this because it says that the aperture setting was f5.9 but I thought I had it on f4.4! Anyway, because I liked it so much and thought I'd done pretty well, I posted it. Sometimes good photos seem to happen by accident!

@grammyn @carolmw @vernabeth @sunnygreenwood @juanita @sabanford Thanks everyone for your very kind comments. 365 really kept me going when things were bad for Mum and I am so grateful for all the support people have given me. Clearing the bungalow is the last hurdle!

Beautiful capture, Rosie - excellent depth of field and the background colour complements the rose perfectly.
