Judy and Carol: Thanks for the kind words. I do agree with you, in my humble opinion, that photo did come out nice.

Betty, that might be small but it's wonderful. Great job of editing it too. I just received an email telling me that they now have the same type of cover for my Mac laptop. I'm thinking about getting one and, at the same time, wondering why I'd want one.
As for the roses, we're spoiled in SoCal, we'll have roses for many more months. I took this photo this morning, it shows a single rose on a bush with many buds that will be opening soon. The close up photo is of that single rose.
After looking at the top picture again, it looks like I photoshoped that rose onto the bush; however, that's not the case. That rose really did grow on that bush. I have no idea why the photo looks fake.
