    Congratulations Gili. A rose is a rose.

    Guess you love roses…. but… a thorn is a thorn (or a thistle) may be more like it;-) they can be beautiful too, if you look carefully… or insects… some people here discovered the beauty of insects since they got into macro photography – though many couldn’t stand these creatures before… Oh, and thank you so much, Jenny!!
