Roses are not always red.

Most people know that red roses signify love and I have purchased more than a few red roses for my wife in the almost 19 years we have been married. A few weeks ago, I saw some roses in the store. I saw some red ones, but the ones that caught my eye were a different color.




I went with these and my wife loved them. They were a unique color and they really had a great shape. They stayed nice for almost a week too which is nice since sometimes the dry air kills flowers within a few days here in the desert.

This was a fun picture to take. I got my 50mm prime lens out of the camera bag and set the aperature to f/1.8 to get a nice shallow depth of field. You can see how the main flower in the picture is in focus and the one behind just kind of fades into the background.

So what do you think? Leaving a comment here is easy and does not require a login. You can also leave me a comment on Twitter. If you like my pictures, it would be great if you would become a fan of the Flowing Desert Fan page.
