A ROSE for my Birthday

My birthday fell on a weekend 

but I was surprised to receive 

a rose from my son, Kurt. 

When he got home from school

afternoon of June 28... he handed me 

with a shy-mannered gesture,

 a single stem with a red rose

 in full bloom and greeted me in advance.

He said, he wanted to buy a bunch

 but his money could only afford one. 

I felt so touched with this simple 

yet meaningful expression of love.

Flower Power

Red, yellow and white... blossom so bright

Flower symbolizes beauty
A bloom that captivates the eye
Its redness means passion
A desire to cuddle the warmth
of love in the air.

Flower may change a sudden mood
from a very long face
 to a grin from ear-to-ear.
It can make or break a flaming affair
and dry up until the wind
blows it away.

Shooting Like-a-PRO

I've been fascinated 

with this 

stimulating hue 

The shade represents

 joy, clarity and hope

Its brightness illuminates

like the sun 

bursting with light.

Golden Trumpet (Allamanda Cathartica)

I found this yellow flower

in an orchard place

and captured its 

beauty and grace.

I focused my lens and took

this macro shot.

The trick was a bit hard

but these attempts 

are not that bad.
