Hi lea,

You're the first to comment today, thanks for taking the time and dropping round. I wonder what the magazine would be titled - probably something a bit more original than my title! :)

Cheers,

David

Good colours, lovely rose.

Hi SandyCarlson,

I'm sure you can understand why Shakespeare was so fond of roses. They are so beautiful, and digital photography allows us to capture and share them with the world, where they will never droop or fade! While Shakespeare preserved these flowers in his writing, we can now preserve them in image. What a wonderful privilege!

Cheers,

David

Hi marcia,

I have to admit, this photo is digitally cropped - the framing wasn't so wonderful in the original. Thanks for your comment, hope you have a lovely day.

Cheers,

Hi Chuck,

Glad you could enjoy this picture so much. I'm sure you're not "deprived" of photography opportunities in the desert - you must have great sunsets and landscapes! :)

Cheers,

Hi BNS,

I'm afraid I couldn't name this variety, I'm no good with flowers. :) Glad you liked it, happy Wordless Wednesday to you too.

Hi David,

You have a great eye for nature. Your rose is beautiful. I love photographing flowers (and butterflies). Red roses can be tricky getting that right color on print. You did a good job! If you have a moment, please check out my website: dianasphotography.com

Have a great day,
Diana

Thanks for that link. I've checked it out, and that's certainly an impressive image database. I'll try using that the next time I'm looking for a stock photo.
