Morning dewdrops covered my roses yesterday. I particularly liked the way this shot came out. This rose is called Neptune, and it's very fragrant in addition to being very beautiful. I dedicate this to all Moms everywhere, especially to the memory of my own. Thanks to all who view and comment. View full screen, please.

Wow, a lovely gentle colour... it definitely shows love, not that of romantic love but of motherly love... soft, caring. I'm sure your mum would love it :)

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. How can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum? *runs off into distance giggling*

This is heavenly, Donna! I guess your mom will receive it there. Dew drops? Like I ever rise in time to see the dew drops, but maybe I should since this image is so inspiring. The color is beautiful and the rose is perfect and beautifully full framed in the best light. Thank you for the dedication and a Happy Mother's Day to you.

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

A beautiful sight Donna and such lovely words. The color and lighting is amazing. I'll add it to the memory of my mom as well and wish you a very Happy Mother's Day. Glad you shared this beauty today. Anita

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.

this is a beautiful rose. The shot is a good example of what you can do when you have the skill like you do. Great shot.

Beautiful Donna! The "dew" is the "crowning touch".
Happy Mothers day! What a beautiful tribute.

Since I was busy yesterday being a Mom, I am way behind today, but I couldn't let this one pass without saying something since it went straight into my fave file. What a lovely tribute to the memory of your mother. She left behind a loving daughter, and I guess that's about the best tribute of all.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? A C-score of 67? No, no, no! What is the matter with people? This is drop dead gorgeous. Such an unusual color. You had to be disappointed with this score. All those marvelous folds and the detail. It's an unqualified 10 in my book.
