rose in the rain

A rose inspiration. Today is the first day of summer and the rain is pattering on the skylights, this rose has a really intense smell which was missing today, but it still looks as beautiful in the rain as it does in the sunshine.

I have treated myself to Adobe Lightroom! So I have spent less time looking for photo opportunities and more on playing with the settings of my new toy. I didn't want to overprocess but I sharpened the image a bit to bring out the sparkling raindrops.
