Bruised yet beautiful...

We had this lovely rose given for our 40th anniversary in May. It's called 'With Love'. The blooms have just opened this week and are beautiful. I took a few shots but liked this one even though the edges are a bit bruised.

Sorry not commenting yet. Since my dear Dad died just over 3 weeks my feet don't seem to have touched the ground. I am so busy with work, home and helping Mum. I really appreciate your comments and I do look at your blips. Back to 'normal' service soon I hope - whatever that may be. This is the reason for my non adventurous blips too - thank goodness for flowers in the garden! Have a good week you lovely people!
