This Rose usually blooms in the Summer and I had given up all hope of it making an appearance this year.Imagine my surprise when I looked out the window a few days ago and saw a bud on it. I was as "tickled pink" as this Rose. I just wanted to share this with my friends here at Caedes. Please enjoy viewing and commenting if you'd like.I appreciate and thank all of you. You're the best!

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.

As soon as that rose came up in the thumbnail, I thought I smelled it, you made it look so real. Nivce work. I like all the folds and well they show up.
Nice work.

What a lovely surprise for you Eileen and what a wonderful job you've done in sharing it with us. It's so crisp and clear on my screen I find myself tempted to put my nose to the screen to catch it's aroma. Thanks for sharing this delight to my eyes.

Beautiful capture, Eileen! Not only the Rose is adorable, but I like the way you included the thorny stem - just to remind us of reality? Great post - thank you!
