Gorgeous Rose and gorgeous composition. I love the way you framed this, Laura. And this Rose is so detailed I can almost smell Her. Thank you! Love, Amy
Your use of light and dark reminded me so much of a Vermeer painting. His subjects were mostly people, but you see that same reach off the page/canvas contrast in your flower. Beautiful!
Forgive me for thinking this way, but if this were a picture in a baby book with “scratch and sniff” properties, it would be a fabulous learning tool. The yellow is pure and clean–a color some child (or adult) would never forget.
Aww thank you for saying so but I would never take offense…I would probably more worry. Life has to go on and sometimes it’s nice to take a break. Thank you MM and I hope you have a good few weeks!
Indeed it is Laura 🙂 Lovely rose! Ours are just coming into season now. There’s a yellow rose in our communal gardens that has the most heavenly scent! I can’t pass it by without stopping and sticking my face into one of the blooms and drinking in its perfume 🙂
I wish I had a macro lens. I think that was my 70-300mm. I love that lens! I think the best nikon is the 105 VR. That’s the one I want. There’s a 200mm one but it’s an overkill for me and way too expensive. What camera do you have?
This is an interestingly shaped rose, more angular than I am used to seeing. I love the diamond shape centered, it flows well with the leaf points. Beautiful color too 🙂 Always a great reminder to S.L.O.W. down. Thank you.
the shape and the leaves, yes, that’s what caught my attention too. In always moving a mile a minute in my head and have got to force myself to slooowwwww dowwnnnnnnn. 🙂
Thank you so much! And hmm…I just noticed it says I’m not following you! Word Press does this sometimes, I kid you not. It unfollows people at random! I’m following you back. Sorry about that!
That’s ok. I’m following so many people right now that I actually have your page and a few others bookmarked so I don’t forget to look at them. There’s just so many people out there’s not enough time to keep up so I have to be selective. I’ve actually been too busy lately that I haven’t even posted any new photos myself since Sunday as I’ve been working more hours. I wish I had more time to be able to write about the photos I type but I don’t think that’ll happen anytime soon. I also wish I could invest more time in photography but between work and family I’m lucky to get out and shoot once a month. I should be posting again this weekend though! Look forward to future posts from you. 🙂

May 29, 2014 at 7:18 am
Thank you 🙂 I used to be bad about that but now that I have a camera, I take more time. 🙂
May 29, 2014 at 7:19 am

May 29, 2014 at 7:43 am
Isn’t it? It was right outside my yard. 🙂
May 29, 2014 at 8:09 am
Pity a photo cannot transmit an aroma as well… this rose looks as though it would have a very pleasant smell
May 29, 2014 at 8:11 am
It did as a matter of fact. They need scratch ‘n sniff word press!

Delicate, sensual beauty
May 29, 2014 at 8:22 am
Why thank you!
May 29, 2014 at 8:43 am
I like the yellow captured in this one – not too bright but good and rich. Your garden? We have white iris blooming currently.
May 29, 2014 at 9:38 am
Thank you so much Robert. Yes it was. We are having a complete relandscape and this is one of the few we will keep. 🙂 The survivor!
May 29, 2014 at 9:11 am
That is so beautiful, bright and full of good energy. Reminds me of the warmth of the summer sunshine.

Oh dear I thought I responded earlier. Oopsie! Thank you Beth for such an insightful comment!

What a beautiful image Laura! Makes me want to go up the street to the neighborhood garden. Bravo 🙂
May 29, 2014 at 11:30 am
Thank you Dan! Yes please do! GGP has so many beautiful areas to take pics too. I wish I lived so close!
May 29, 2014 at 2:00 pm

Sorry; couldn’t resist.

May 29, 2014 at 11:34 am
Laura, it will be going quiet this end for a couple of weeks – don;t think I’ve fallen out with you, just having a break. 💚😃
May 29, 2014 at 11:37 am
Aww thank you for saying so but I would never take offense…I would probably more worry. Life has to go on and sometimes it’s nice to take a break. Thank you MM and I hope you have a good few weeks!

A great capture of the delicacy of the petals, and, of course, the beautiful yellow!

May 29, 2014 at 12:17 pm
Ah the scent of a rose can send me right way back when 😉
Lovely Laura . On the brink …
May 29, 2014 at 12:20 pm
Thank you. There’s always a memory with the scent of a rose 🙂
May 29, 2014 at 12:36 pm
Nice….are you using a macro lens? If so, what are you using. I have just been doing some research on macro lens and want to learn more.
May 29, 2014 at 3:03 pm

May 31, 2014 at 9:55 am
I use a Canon 7D, probably more camera than I will ever learn to use, but I love it.
May 31, 2014 at 10:03 am
that’s all that’s important!
May 29, 2014 at 12:51 pm
Beautiful….

What a lovely yellow……it’s sort of soft and vibrant all at the same time
May 29, 2014 at 3:10 pm
Thanks Mark….what woman doesn’t love roses?
May 29, 2014 at 10:46 pm
Too true…..my wife would agree…..especially the yellow ones 😊
May 29, 2014 at 3:19 pm
It is Laura, getting a start on the macro idea?? Beautiful.
May 29, 2014 at 4:16 pm

Thank you! It smelled lovely. 🙂
May 30, 2014 at 8:50 am
Nice shot! Makes me want to shoot some of the flowers my wife has around the house and yard as she is planting them.
May 30, 2014 at 9:03 am
Thank you so much! And hmm…I just noticed it says I’m not following you! Word Press does this sometimes, I kid you not. It unfollows people at random! I’m following you back. Sorry about that!

I actually do that too…making the links. Yours is now made! Thank you for including me. 🙂 I’ll look forward to your next post!
May 30, 2014 at 9:52 am
I just stopped to smell the Peonies about ready to bloom…love that quote. Pretty yellow rose!!
May 30, 2014 at 9:53 am
Good for you Robyn! And thank you for the comment! I love roses. 🙂

Thank you Alex 🙂
May 31, 2014 at 8:28 am
Someone once told me that you can eat the petals from most flowers. This one looks good enough to eat. Nice shot.
May 31, 2014 at 8:49 am
You can? I think I’ll pass on it although I’ve seen them on my plate in some restaurants, lol. Thank you for the compliment on how it looks though! 🙂
May 31, 2014 at 9:01 am
stunning Laura, the light color, texture, just outstanding!
May 31, 2014 at 9:03 am
Thank you so much Rob! I’m glad you like it. 🙂
June 1, 2014 at 12:47 pm
