Love the composition of this photo, Kenn, though to my eye it’s unique. And the depth of field is beautiful, especially where it’s dark just behind that beautiful bud! Wonderful photo!

Thank you, Mary—I got lucky on this one. Thank you, too, for your very kind (and very generous) reactions to my work in general. I’m both flattered and humbled.

OH good grief, be still my heart. This flower has gone and stolen it, Ken. Wow. Magnificent color and shot!!! Now I have to go run after my heart to bring it back. (smile) Love, Amy

You are too kind, Amy, with a heart too big and generous to lose. Thank you, my friend!

Kenn, I have tried to “like” every post since the food wagon without success. I get a pop-up, “Automatic, Inc. [US]. What the heck? And, the email thing shows at the bottom of the comment space. ?? I like the Desert Rose! Nice framing!

Sounds like you may be logged out of your WordPress account when trying to like a post, but please don’t fret, George—I feel the positive cyber vibes regardless. As always, thank you, my friend! 🙂

  You know, I think you might be right. I’ve had that happen before. I am logged in since I am posting on my blog and commenting on others. It’s a mystery! Afflicts only the elderly… Mad Cow, no doubt. Thanks, Kenn!

Thank you, Lisa. Desert Roses are like the fashion models of my front yard—they never fail to photograph well.
