With our very strange weather here in Maine this spring/summer, only one of our roses is blooming, and so far it has produced only one flower. But what a flower! It even survived the last three days of heavy rain. Not only beautiful, but strong. I think, on closer look, the transient of the title (on the left) might be a mosquito…any port in a storm…I will grant even a mosquito that. Especially after three days of heavy rain.

This is an Rich Tone / HDR shot from my Samsung Galaxy S4’s excellent camera, as I was walking around the yard seeing what the storms had left standing. It was processed on the phone with PicSay Pro.
