A Rose is A Rose

Another shot from Saturday morning when it was gloomy out. Now this would be one of the great things about June Gloom, flower and portrait photo's have great lighting.

Seems I have taken many a photo of roses or flowers and there have been few and far in between that I have liked and actually posted. I guess you can see since I am posting this one, I like it.

This photo came about after I shot the previous photo instead of retracing my steps back down the beach from the car I decided to walk up on the street back to the car which was about a 1/2 mile away. I came across one yard that had these pretty roses and one seemed to have a perfect shape. Snapped off a few and kept walking. This came out so nice I didn't have to do much post processing.
Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment if you get a chance.
