First Summer Rose

Just outside the front door this evening and spotted the first rose of the summer to spring up today. The way the summer is going I am not sure if the flowers are going to arrive in the right order but its nice to see this as it brightens up the approach down the path.

I did this handheld with my fast 50mm as the light was fading and I loaded it up within 5 minutes to speed up my blipping time :-) (my normal time seems to be in the hour following the reminder at 20.00 that I get daily from blipfoto - like its a chore and I have to be reminded :-)
