Raindrops on roses

Some of our neighbors have roses right next to the sidewalk, and I took this photo with my iPhone the other day when it was raining. The two little round drops perched on top of the uppermost petal look like Muppet eyes to me… and the way it curls over is like a mouth.  As if the rose were a character from Jim Henson’s imagination…

Spring has sprung, with fragrant flowers and beautiful butterflies

This fragrant bush attracted both the butterfly and me... It is in front of a house next to the post office on Dale Ave.
