Bud in early morning light

[ied]

I was out deadheading the roses and this one bud got my attention maybe because of the water droplets from an earlier shower. So much for the deadheading. There was a slight breeze but I chanced it anyways. There's lots in the bin, this is by far the better one.
Brian, I can appreciate your persistence in capturing the perfect shot!
C&C appreciated

My roses are all our blooming but with all the heat here, the buds I see in the morning were no longer in the afternoon...this very nice and sharp. I like it that it is not oversaturated with many drops...just the right amount.

Thanks Izzie. As to the water drops Mother nature was in control here - not man made.
