The rose that didn't know winter has come
Here's a short story of mine. I have a collection of roses in my front yard, sitting snugly together in an area delimited by stone raised walls. They are a delight to watch during the summer, but our Canadian winter doesn't help them at all, and every year quite a few of them don't make it until the next spring.
For the last two weeks we had two night frost episodes and three snowfalls that abruptly wilted all the flowers, to the extent that everything looks now like a neglected cemetery with dried up, dead flowers. The buds usually freeze and die too, and none of them ever opens up.
Except one. Which actually started to open, like it never noticed that winter has come.
So here it is, the rosebud that didn't know winter has come. With a wilted rose in the background, and at f/2.8, because I can and the lens can too. And the mandatory 1:1 crop for pixel peeping pleasure. My only regret is ISO 400 as there was a slight breeze and I had to use short exposure time.
