Speeachless Sunday, The Rose

Taken at my lake house after a rain, located on Lake Limestone...you can see the lake vaguely in the background and the raindrops on the rose and the foliage.

The Rose has been loved throughout time, inspiring poetry and songs to be written about it's beauty.

Most notably was;

"Shakespeare's A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Liz,

Beautiful photo....thanks for sharing this photograph...do you mind sharing information about your camera?

Liz, I can almost smell that rose through my computer, thanks to smellovision. Thanks again. kevincavanaughonline.com

Liz, what is so striking on this photo is the water droplets. Almost like the flower is just drinking them in.

The rose is stretching after a nice rain shower. Thank you for the picture.

Another beautiful picture from the late nite poster! :-)

there Liz

That sure is a fine photo, of your fine rose. But theres no rose, pretty than the fine Texas rose that you are my friend.

God Bless America

Hey Ms. Liz we agree with all of the above. Thanks for posting such a beautiful photo for all of us to enjoy. Hope your feeling better.

Liz, that is absolutely gorgeous! I loved talking to you today and very glad that you are back to your old self.

I use to take a lot of underwater photos which is a so different, both I love...above water & below. Glad you liked it, Liz

Gary...

You have such a way with words, glad you liked it. L

Tony...

Stretching after a shower....that would have been a great title, can I use it on my next rose picture :), I got a tad carried away and much have shoot 60 different roses that day after the rain.

Kevin...

This rose bush does have a really good smell to it....smellavision :). L

Virginia...

Guess old habits are hard to break...still a late night-er. L

Dale...

I need to send you some of "The Yellow Rose of Texas". L

Carl & Ceil...

It's almost Valentines day too. Taking it easy and feeling much better. The hardest thing to get over were the two back to back abdominal surgeries and the incisions have all healed within the last week and no more pain. Love Ya, L
