  Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. This is one of the antique roses I have in the yard. They really have taken a liking to the cooler weather although it looks like the high 80's have returned today.

  A rose is a rose, except when photographed by Murry.
It then becomes an award winner.
Congratulations, and best of luck Murry.
