Now, isn't that just wonderful!!

I love this, Mary.

So beautifully composed and captured with such gorgeous colors.

Your title for this beautiful image reminds me of something I read once: Why do roses have thorns? Answer: For protection.

I never thought of it that way. But I love the idea.

I also love the symbolosm here as much as the image itself. #10778886
