We drove by this white rose and I went back with my camera. I was so amazed by the morning dew. I love dew and this was like a fine mist. Don't know if this picture can do it justice, but I tried.

I admire your spirit, Hilda. Going back for a white rose means it must have stood out and I know that feeling of not being able to resist at least a couple of shots. You certainly did do this justice, because now it will live on in it's white, dew kissed beauty in this photo. I'd go back for a white rose too. Very beautiful post.

Definitely worth it and definitely does it justice. I admire your dedication in spotting this and going back for it. Makes for a very unusual shot given the angle you've taken and the silky whiteness. Also bears a passing resemblance to Chinese prawn crackers!! Love it.

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.

Well, my dear.. I am going to try to put this derailed beauty that I missed while trying to capture fall pics into perspective...first of all Phil did a great job with his link. And secondly, you've given us all a vibrant view into a romantic look at a white rose which is, in my humble opinion, a very hard thing to do. I admire your dedication to excellence and your great eye for detail and unusual perspective. Most certainly into my flower faves.

Couldn't pass this one up! I love white-on-white...and the clear yellow shadows are very appealing. Thank goodness I've never seen a Chinese prawn cracker. :)
