The Rose by cdonohoue

The Rose

After yesterday I decided to play today. I played with light, dark, black cloth and then went out into the yard. I find a lot of peace in the roses so I went back to the macro lens and what I do best. My most gorgeous red roses are beginning to bloom. So that is what I decided I needed to do for my soul.
