Dad’s rose

This is one of the roses from my parents’ garden, and I took the photo two weeks ago when I was visiting them. Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

    Sean, thanks so much for visiting!

    Sara, I almost posted this photo last week and then realized it was much more appropriate for this week, definitely.

    Jean, I’m a big fan of the water droplet effect, too. I’m always happy when I can capture that.

    Chigiy, thank you for the compliment!

    Growthumbs, it was a lovely rose in person — I really wanted to do it justice with the photo.

    Mr. Brownthumb, happy GTS to you, too!

    In the back of my mind I have a recollection of a story, last year about Dad’s rose. If you wrote about this last year. – I still have recollections of it, so the memory now is omnipotent!

    Drew, thanks so much for visiting!

    Lynn, I can’t remember if I posted a story about Dad’s rose or not, but I know I took plenty of photos of his roses last year, too.

    Gardenmomma, thank you, and enjoy those coolers!
