Flower of the Day – May 12, 2012
“Red”, …is the color of life. It’s blood, passion, rage. …It is the Beginning of Live it is life; Beginnings and violent end. Red is the color of love. Beating hearts and hungry lips. Roses, Valentines, cherries. Red is the color of shame. Crimson cheeks and spilled blood. Broken hearts, opened veins. A burning desire to return to white.”

This looks like a painting…. very cool.
It is one of my better shots of a red rose. I find capturing the correct light and color balance difficult when taking pictures of either white or red flowers. This one worked. I was pretty happy about that. Thanks for your comments and for following us. We appreciate it. L& L
