On our back deck, there's a little rose bush that loves to grow through the deck. I noticed these leaves a while ago, and thought they might make a nice picture with the right conditions. One morning, Valentine's Day to be exact, it stopped raining long enough for me to step out and take some pictures! This may not be a flower, but this leaf is as pretty as a rose, don't you think? :)

I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)

NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr!
