Not Quite Raindrops On Roses DSC_2985

My Mr Lincoln rose is the best it has ever been. I like to check out the garden after the sprinklers have been on and I loved the water drops on the roses. I've had a busy day catching up with friends and making soap, so I didn't get a chance to shoot anything else. I thought about heading to the beach for some more sunset shots because there are a lot of clouds around, but it has just started to drizzle, so Mr Lincoln it is :) Thank you all for your comments and favs, which got yesterday's shot to PP.

Delightful, even more so on black, love the water sparkle in the water drops...

Such a gorgeous rich colour, love the droplets :)

Love the larger drop on the bottom, you can almost see reflections in it.

@happysnaps Thanks Valerie, I hadn't thought to check it on black.

@hermann Thanks Sally, it is a beautiful colour and it has an amazing fragrance to go with it.

@deborah63 Thanks Debbie, the reflection is actually the house next door. It's a bit easier to make out when it's zoomed in.

Beautiful, and I agree with Valerie, best viewed on black.
