Living in the Golden State:

A perfect rose

In addition to grapes, we found that there were a number of rose bushes planted in the backyard. We also found, during our first "winter," that they bloom pretty much all year long. One rainy day, Donna saw this one, and took photos of it, including this amazing shot. We're now planting roses in the new place, because it didn't have any when we bought it. It will soon.
