Friday Photo - A Rose with Attitude



I saw this rose on my way to work last week and stopped to take photos.  See how dedicated I am to all you bloggy friends.  I went out of my way to take its picture because this is no ordinary rose.  No ma'am, this rose is:

a)  Working on providing the most spectacular setting for a port-a-potty.


b) The little-rose-that could, working to make the world more beautiful one junkyard at a time.


c) Both.


You've got to admire persistance like that.  Even the graffitti on the port-a-potty seems impressed.


Thanks rose!  We could do with more like you.

  1. Grace, you are a woman after my own heart. I can only imagine what people thought, with you there taking pictures of a porta potty. They're beautiful.

  4. I wondered what people thought as well - especially since there was a security camera (you can see it in the third photo down on the left side of the picture). It was a pretty muddy day as well, so I had to wipe my shoes off when I got to work. The things I do for my bloggy friends.

  5. I love that rose and you're so right, we could use lots more roses that make even the most mundane things prettier and sweeter smelling too!

  7. What an amazing pink rose - I wonder what the name of it is. Just shows you that beauty can be found in the strangest places.

  8. Just stopped by from C.L.H. and I'm here to stay. What a great perspective you have on things. I can read between the lines and love the humor.

  11. What a great post. When I got to the port a potty I chuckled. Thank you for commenting on my deck and following. I am already following you I noticed. I think we have both commented before. There are just so many blogs to keep up with. I will measure that part of the deck and get back to you.
