I don't normally send roses to men, but today is my 3rd wedding anniversary to Mr Dave. What a great time we have had! Here's to 47 more! I love you!!

I'm sitting here listening to the TV and the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is on! How cool to start my day to this?

I had a great weekend, lots of motorcycling around the countryside, the weather was grand, good friends, good food. Life is good today! What a miracle! Each day I count how grateful I am and my days are happy, instead of wasting time making other's pay for their "human-ness"

Life is short and so I dedicate this song, So Small and hope you will hear the words!

Have a great day!
Linda

HI Linda
Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary. You have the right attitude towards life, you should make it to 50.BTW I have just passed that number.
The flower is most beautiful the light enhancing the beads of water and the heart reflecting good shadows.A beauty of a shot.

Happy Anniversary!! Thats great and so glad that you have found happiness. A beautiful flower and I also love the words to the song :) I've been divorced for 25 years! Time sure flies...TFS a beautiful picture, very nice color and detail.

Happy Anniversary :-)

I normally avoid "flower shots" but I love the deep, rich red and the close crop into the heart of the flower - and, of course, the water droplets are the icing on the cake. Really a very nice shot, Linda, and it does make a nice girly card for that man of yours ;-)

Hi Linda,
A sweet thing to do sending flowers to your man. The is a great picture. I love the detail and the water on the pedals. The color and sharpness are wonderful. Congrats on your anniversary.
Regards,
Kevin

to linda and dave.
have a fantastic anniversary.

beautifully captured. the raindrops are a magnificent touch.

don't listen to richard. he is, obviously, not a gardener. it takes a real man to tackle a thorny rose bush.

hugs to you both.
Brian

hi linda, ahh only 3 years, well thats great, all the best-sounds like you are happy with life and of course your hubby, i am guessing you did the whole re-married thing as i know your kids are older, either way who cares, your kids seem happy and you too and thats all that matters, and you dont need to respond to me as this stuff is none of my bussiness!
take care,
scott

Hi Linda,
You must make an exception for the GB! Congratulations my dear I'm looking forward to the next three years. This rose is superbly captured, great low tones and excellent sharpness. Each droplet is like a pearl.
Big hug for this great anniversary Calamity!

Hi Linda,

A very happy anniversary!!
And a lovely deeply saturated image, lovely and sharp and no tripod!
Have a lovely day.

Congratulations on your third anniversary! What's the traditional gift for the third? I jokingly tell people that every anniversary is the "diamond" one. Perhaps that's why I'm still single?? ummmmmmm

Lovely details of the flower. The deep shades of red look like velvet. I'm sure the scent is as beautiful as the rose itself. Nice macro Linda.

Have a nice anniversary! Congrats.... Lisa

linda,
big congrats....

and a lovely rose that is..the drops are the jewels in the crown!!

What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
its okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
but don't run out on your faith

'cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small

it's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
while you siting 'round thinking 'bout what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you cant get it back

sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small

sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else...
oh it sure makes everything else seem so small

Hi Linda,

Congratulations!
Why not present a lovely deep red rose to a man that made you happy - seems like a great idea.
And yes I did hear the words...

TFS this beautiful flower, those drops really add sparkles likes diamonds and the texture of the petals is wonderful.

Wish you happiness and lots of love.

Happy anniversary Linda and Dave! How wonderful!
(let you in on a little secret: Rob and I will celebrate our 23rd anniversary this Saturday... we'll go away for the weekend to Leuven in Belgium)

Lovely rose Linda: great exposure and colors and the tiny droplets do great!

Cheers girl!
Enjoy!

Hi Linda,
First of all, Happy Anniversary to both of you.
Next, very nice macro here; perfect depth, crispness, light and color. The water droplets are a very interesting effect and the whole thing just conveys the silky texture of the rose petals.
Very nice work,
TFS,
Wilt
