Rose in Chapel Hill

We have not met any person who does not like rose. We are no exception. In Chapel Hill Community Center in the state of North Carolina, there is a Rose Garden. In October 2006 one afternoon, we took a walk at that garden. It was getting into fall, most roses there were about to go away. Some were still struggled to survive longer. We really admired the spirit of fighting against unfavored environment those roses presented to us. So, we captured their beauty with our cameras.

We did not have our micro lens with us by that time. Since the roses were big, a regular lens was able to do good job. The only problem in taking pictures to the roses was that it was very windy. Therefore, one of us held the stem and the other released the shutter. It was a team effort as usual. In case you do not notice, there is a droplet of water in the middle of the rose.
