PSF - It's only a rose!

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

I have always wanted to participate in the photo a day project (365 photo's in a year).  This is the year......the year that I remembered to start the project with the beginning of the new year.

It has only been one week and so far so good.  What amazes me about the process is how much more aware of my surroundings I have become.
For example, this morning as I was getting the groceries out of the back of my SUV I noticed that a few of the roses were in bloom on the bush in our front yard.

The sun was still rising in the east and the lighting was absolutely perfect.  The petals even had dew on them (even though you can't see it well in this picture).

I posted this picture for PSF to share with you all what winter looks like in Southern California.  This isn't an attempt to make any of the snowed in folks envious.....just thought it might make you smile.

Oh and if you aren't familiar with Photo Story Fridays, please go check it out (by clicking the pretty icon at the top of the post).  Loads of great photo's being shared.  

Happy Friday!
