Sweet Charlotte by Diane Schuster
A soft rain fell last night, so soft, in fact, that I didn’t hear it hitting the roof. When I awoke, everything was drenched. The soft rain didn’t spoil the roses, it just filled the inner petals and left clues of it’s existence every place that I looked. I couldn’t resist photographing this rose, it was shear perfection and just begged to be immortalized.
Purple rose with raindrops, soft focus added to edges.
Original image taken in my garden in Shady Cove, Oregon with an Olympus E-420 camera and a 50mm lens on Raw setting.

Thanks naturelover, this is a rose called “Melody Parfum” and it smells wonderful. I had 2 blooming, one above the other and both filled with raindrops, I was delighted, as you can imagine! Dee
