Summer Rose

Summer sun beams down.
On summer rose in full bloom.
Summer rose beams back.





I spotted this heart-shaped leaf in the hedge. Interesting that it was pink - don't you think? :)



I have prepared this post for both Floral Friday Fotos and Recuerda Mi Corazon (Haiku my Heart).

    Do you know that I love Roses the most? Okay maybe 2nd to Calla Lily! They are so lovely! I loved your haiku--as lovely as the rose!
