Week 23

Picture 156:  This is one of the extremely beautiful roses in our planters.  It had just rained so there are some tiny drops of water on the petals.  Very soft looking rose, it almost looks plastic.    

Picture 157:  Then I looked at the leaves on the rose bush.  Such waxy, green, vibrant leaves.  I don't often just look at the leaves.  Glad I did this time.     

Picture 158:  Together the flower and the leaves are even more of a composition.  I just can't take one picture of a flower. 

Picture 159:  A rainbow appeared over our neighbor's house.  If you look closely, you will see it is a double rainbow.  I know what it means.  It was raining later in the day and the sun was shining through the clouds.

Picture 160:  This is my favorite of the week.  The daisy is so perfect and I just did a little post photo tweaking.     

Picture 161:  Finally, a picture of the sky as the sun sets with pretty clouds.  It is pretty hard for me to get a shot of the sky that looks interesting.  Do you think this works?   

Picture 162:  It isn't winter.  It is just late in the day after the rain shower.  The pine needles each seem to have their own water droplet.  Thanks for being so helpful needles.     

And, as always, for the photos that didn't make the top 7 this week, check out my flicker stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sonyacarlson/
