Stunning photo. It's hard to stop staring at it.

Ralph said...

This is such a beautiful flower, and in your take, I see many different textures that reflect the ambient light just a little bit differently. A great picture!

Very beautiful! Almost, but just not quite as beautiful as my Little Bright Eyes. We spent the day down there...Lorelei is growing. And so precious.

Unknown said...

what could be more perfect than a red, red rose?

Missy said...

I can almost feel the leathery texture! I also posted a rose! This is my first for Ruby Tuesday.
Great minds think alike!

Hugs and blessings,

This is such a great photo, I took a deep breath expecting to smell the view!

Jim said...

Hi Carletta, is this a red rose? It looks good enough to eat, like it might be red candy.
Where did you find it? Or did you grow it? :-)

Dora said...

WOw! This is a nice one. So perfect. Can i have it? ;)

Eaton Bennett aka Berenice Albrecht said...

Definitely not velvet...silk, pure raw silk is what that rose looks like. It's beautifully formed. These days very few commercial roses have perfume, does this one? Happy RT! :)

MaR said...
