The sky tells us something of the location/climate. Te semi back lighting brings out details of the old fashioned rose that would be lost by front sunlight, I love it. Seems a good place to visit!

Hugh, I like roses too but they're too common. Here, front-side light would bring up details & important colour far better. The lonley leaf above, cars, masts, uneven sky are disturbing.. **

... I did disagree. I am a plant & rose lover too but would like to see much more of EXOTIC plants uploaded into correct destinations. The rose is lovely but just not very Texan! Cactuses?

But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me. "

"There is still debate whether Harison’s Yellow refers to the rose of folklore. We do know, however, The Yellow Rose of Texas of song, re-popularized during the 1950’s by Mitch Miller, actually refers

to a person, not a rose. Specifically, the lyrics refer to Emily West Morgan, somewhat forgotten in history for her heroism during the Texas war of independence from Mexico.
