What a beautiful foofy rose, Eve, for a foofy guy, Jerry :)) The clarity can't be beat and that drop of water is such a bonus. Beautiful framing, too. Very well done and Congrats to Jerry and his Sherry!
What a lovely image for a great and 'foofy' guy!....More of these and he will eventually get completely 'Foofied'?....
Nice gesture with this beauty of a post!...Lovingly done by an expert!
That's a gorgeous tribute! The rose reminds me of a favourite I once had - Lady Hillingon - which funnily enough, I had in the LB of Hillingdon, London!
I hope he appreciates it! Beautifully framed (but not imprisoned) too! K8
Congratulations, Jerry. You deserve all the accolades not only for your wonderful photographs, but for your continued exploration of the Pacific Northwest! My best wishes to your wife as well. Lyn, the rose is perfection and a wonderful tribute!
Beautifully presented and a great tribute to our star foofoo man ;) He surely deserves the spotlight and has helped me beyond words with my meager attempt at photography. For that I think you Jerry. Gorgeous post.
I'm way behind so forgive me for not commening on your individual posts but know that I've looked at all of them since I left. I truly enjoy seeing all of your posts and am always happy to see you at My Gallery. Thanks, Anita
A well deserved Tribute to the guy who brings us the Pacific Northwest like no other member and provides us with laughter with his off the wall comments on a daily basis. "Foofy" or not LynEve I'm sure our DigiCamMan & Sherry will have to admit your Rose is simply over the top in it's beauty.

Gee whiz Eve, I'm overwhelmed by all this attention. As you all know I keep a pretty low profile. What a nice tribute and a rose at that, beautiful. My wife Sherry and myself thank you so much for such an honor. One problem...now that I have all this attention my wife wants me to take the mask off to see what I really look like. Thanks again my dear friend,God bless you all the days of your life, love ya.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

A grand overall comp with terrific tonalities on the flora!! The framing...I'm torn on...I like the frame but not the weight as it's heavy on the right and bottom, yet, thin on the upper and left which kinda throws ya for a loop. A grand tribute to our main dude Jerry!!
The color of this rose is just peachy Lyn as well as beautifully presented. The tribute to Jerry & his beloved wife is a lovely touch. Good work. I like the gradient frame, it adds a touch of additional interest to the overall composition. Thank you for sharing this with us ;=)
Wow. This is a keeper. I don't know if Jerry and roses go together. Perhaps Jerry and thornes! We are such "enemies" you know. This is drop dead gorgeous. Jerry should be proud and it is a very appropriate tribute to him.
