A Rose by Any Other Name....

I know, I know, there are a lot of other roses out there, but this rose came out after a slight rain and hit me in the eye. I took other photos today, but this one was my first and I can't keep from making it my blip for the day. The title?

From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1600:

JULIET:

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name
would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

Thanks for indulging me!
