Beauty in the Shadows
This Rose Bud waiting to open up for the world to see, was in the garden at the Swan Inn, at the back of Dawlish.
It had a leaf directly above it, like a roof protecting it from the rain, but also shadowing the poor thing.
I hope you like it.
Thank you for looking.

There is something almost mysterious about this image, the bud is waiting for more than its explosion into full bloom.
What on earth did I put in my coffee?
