Emerging Cracker Rose

The blossom is emerging from the bud stage. It was taken in the early morning. By noon it will probably be completely open. Settings: f/2.8 1/50 Sigma 150mm macro lens.

There are days that I feel my life is emerging... from a good night sleep, recuperating from a cold or sinus infection, aches from the damp weather. There are many situations from which to emerge. As I get older, there seem to be more :-) I don't mind, as over the years I have learned various means to help me emerge from the difficult situations. I do need more patience now, as it takes a bit longer for it all to come about. I have learned that you just can't give up!!!
