A dear friend of mine gave me a yellow rose plant early in the summer. The plant has flourished despite the heat and lack of rain and has produced many beautiful roses. Yesterday evening I took advantage of the soft, diffused light to capture the splendid roses. What you see below is a series of images capturing the various stages of a rose in bloom.
The bud and the bloom.
The rose and the opening bud.
The grand opening.
Delicate beauty.
My personal favorite of this series.
