A rose I happened by on my wandering the other day.

The bright sunshine that afternoon had not quite managed to dry everything from the mornings shower.

Beautiful! Gorgeous vibrant colour,yet retaining all its softness and the lighting gives it a special glow. I was drawn to it in New Images immediately.
Will make a great desktop:)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

One can see the freshness of the rose - almost smell it. The "dew drops" make it evn more attractive. Well done!
