A rose is a rose

And they're finally starting to bloom in the garden.
I could spend hours there—oh wait, I did— and this 

was one of my faves of the many pictures I took.
[Today is Shadow Shot Sunday. To see more shadows, go here.]

  9. This flower seems to be inviting not only the bee, but me, to partake of its beauty and nourishment!


    BE MY COMPANION

    Come here, my shadow,
    Do not delay;
    Be my companion,
    Show me the way;
    Teach me your secrets,
    Chant as we go
    Of light and darkness—
    Make my heart glow!
