A Simple Pretty Flower for a Sunday – 18
Here’s the 18th installment of “A Simple Pretty Flower for a Sunday.” If you’d like, you can view all the earlier Sunday flower images/posts on this page.
I took this photo of a rose that was still holding on in the middle of October, long after she should have been. There was a just a simple beauty in the rose, and I loved the way the rose leaned to the left, almost as if the sun was not strong enough to have her reaching upward.
Just a simple flower holding on when the season for them is long gone.
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

Its funny how there is always one flower that says “im staying as long as I can!” here I found random roses blooming still in november…
Its a pretty rose and a pretty photo.

She’s a very pretty rose, Katie, and i like this picture a lot, as well as the series.Symbolicly speaking, according to one of my instructors, if someone or something is looking left, it is looking to the past…knowing when to let go is a good reminder for me 🙂

This rose has sort of a plain, understated beauty that really makes it wonderful. So nice that you took a picture of this one. Lovely!

I really like your macro photography skills. Its another form of art that so many miss – and you capture it so well.

I like the composition here, Katie, and the ‘negative space’ as they say.
I have a tattoo of a yellow rose. 🙂
