The Perfect Rose - and a bug by cdonohoue

The Perfect Rose - and a bug

This is one totally perfect white rose. So dreamy as it unfolds a bit more of itself - and then there is the bug. There is always something that lurks to spoil perfection. Sort of like life. There is no perfect. But you better believe that there is grand.

Today is also Happy Anniversary to my son Michael and his wife Michele. That union brought into my life instant Granddaughter Ashley, my beloved Grandson Garrett, my two totally gorgeous Great Grandsons Aiden and Mason. When two people fall in love it is a Grand part of life. Sort of like this rose.
Beautiful. Love the limited colour pallette.
