Raindrops on rose petals
The sunny weather finally ended, and we’re looking at at least a week or two of rain and showers. Today I was out after a meeting in Wallingford and saw this rose still showing the rain from a few minutes before. I just can’t seem to get enough roses lately, but I think the rain coming up will put an end to them for this year.

Beautiful. I took a similar shot of a yellow rose last week.
You asked where the colorful streets were on my Color Carnival post — I’m in Portland, just down the road a ways from you!
What a beautiful blush on that rose!

So beautiful and fresh, I can almost smell the fragrance, mmm…
Our “non rainy season” ended today as well, and in quite a dramatic fashion – one of the biggest October storms in northern California in a long time.
It rained all day Tuesday in Reno. Alas, almost all our flowers are done, but the fall color is splashing the landscape.
nice shot! It’s like I could smell the sweet scent of the rose from here.

Lovely job.
What a clear photo! I feel like I can reach out and touch those drops of dew. Beautiful!
I can smell the rose and feel the dampness in the air, fabulous photo.
I look forward to seeing what shots you capture each Wednesday. This one is awesome! I love white roses, this one with touches of pink is breathtaking!
Such pretty soft colors that rose has! Nice to see such a lovely rose so late in the season, even if it has little raindrops on it…
Truly beautiful. Especially when viewed from the land of winter!
Hello Sarah. Its really pretty and refresh.

So refreshing!
