This Knock Out Steals the Stage

Upstaged by a friggin' flower...figures;-).

Just had to post a peek at my amazing weather day. It was absolutely perfect out. I had to work, but took advantage of outside as much as possible. Walked the dog and shot photos in the morning, rode scooters with my daughter in the afternoon and took one more walk in the evening. Glorious glorious day!

These are my neighbors roses and they are called knock outs (I believe). They earn that title.
Love that fine focus on the edge of the petal! Also love hearing about someone else's sunny day with lots of walks! Putting on my shoes now!

@maggiemae Have a great walk!!! Hope your weather is lovely, too. We were hovering around 70 degrees F here all day. Blue skies, sunshine and a nice gentle breeze. Just right!

I can never resist a red flower, and this is truly a knockout!! FAV!

Upstaged only by its colour …. as you know, I am never knocked out by colour of any kind! But Amanda doing a handstand … now that is sure to fell me! Oops sorry! I must regain my composure :-) Nicely photographed - your very shallow DOF has softened (what I imagine to be) the harshness of its outward appearance! I

@yrhenwr Must do a more flattering hand stand photo. dang it was tough to pull off. I love big bold beautiful color!

@lyndemc I did some post editing to fix a few imperfections in the petals...just discoloration, spots. I recently had my picmonkey membership expire and didn't re sign up...missing some of the membership only tools.
