The Journey of a Rose

Joining Debs @dibzgreasley and her son Thomas @mastert with their daily December challenge - journey

I have used some poetic licence here, showing a rose from bud through to losing its petals.

My get pushed challenge from Lisa Poland @homeschoolmom - I'd like for you to take a shot that shows me summer, my favorite season. Have fun!
Roses always make me think of hot summer days!

Nicely shot and saved for the three photos! This is a lovely rose with the most beautiful yellow and scalloped edges!

[Anita Campbell]

This is such a great "story" of the rose. Kind of sad when you think about the beauty of it as it does.

[Denise Wood]

Great captures :)

[Margaret Pengelly]

go poetry!

[Junko Y]

So interesting that you've followed a single rose's life cycle through this series.

[Sally Ings]

@jyokota Junko it isn't the same rose but all three photos were taken of the same bush and within minutes of one another. The different lighting is due to the evening sun and shadows cast by other plants.

I like your interpretation of "journey" :) And it really shows the various stages of that journey.
