a perfect...

...red rose

straight out of the camera

found on a little rose bush - right in front of the building - i confess i’m surprised - it’s in such wonderful shape - this late in the season - not that i’m complaining - mind you, but usually by now - we begin to see them - falling off, shriveling up - you get the picture

so i was doing the happy skippy dance - upon spotting this gem - in the morning light - if you look closely - you’ll even see a tiny - bit of dew - not that that would mean anything - to anyone but for me - well, it simply makes it...

a

happy day.....
