A lovely rose with petals soft A scent so sweet and light So beautiful a flower With colors shining bright. But something not so savory About the fragrant rose - The thorns, so sharp upon the stem, That sharpen as it grows. Yet still lovely is the flower Despite the thorns that prick Just as life and love are sweet They too have thorns that stick. But do not fear to live or love, Life's not exempt from pain - So pick a rose, you may get hurt, But you will also gain!

A lovely Rose and a lovely Poem. Good Lord this is gorgeous full screen. Spotted this in the new image gallery. So my Lady I leave you with these words ... "I picked this Rose and felt no pain. My eyes and soul were the ones to gain."

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

I love your poetry, and I'm speaking of your words at the moment ;) The other poetry you present rests within this delicate and stunning presentation of this nonpareil. I hated to use the word flower, because it just doesn't do it justice. It's so lovely and you've presented it so well..thank you :)PJ

Ruby, I sat and gazed at this beautiful rose and felt my tired dtrained eyes begin to relax. To capture such beauty as to have that type of affect on someone is a gift. And you truely are gifted. Thank you Ruby, thank you so much.

Photography, expression that goes beyond words, Yet the Word gives us that ability.

I can almost feel the softness of those petals and the color is spectacular. You know how to shoot roses, that's for sure. Very beautiful!

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

What an exquisite beauty. Some may say that the image is too dark, but I like it this way. Makes a fine desktop. Thanks.

That is so real, I can smell it from here. I like the softness of this rose yet the petals are still distinct. The colors and shading are beautiful. Great work.

This one is no less gorgeous than the other! They do convey different feelings though - but isn't that what roses are supposed to do? Great work as always!
