Sure ... a red rose, but here, not for the traditional symbolic... blblb...
In observing his reflections, different petals, its openings and closures, light and shade, and many other things ... learn to observe and discover something surprising.
This is not my favorite flower, but I must admit it was pretty faces.

I had great difficulty in photographing these little devils. It was a dull day and they were always on the go. As soon as you have focus they are off before you can press the shutter button. This is one of my better efforts from the afternoon.
Thanks for all of the comments and faves, they are very much appreciated.
I found this Red Shouldered Hawk sitting on this pole at Myakka River State Park. It was just sitting there. I couldn't believe how close it let me get. I managed to scoot within about twenty feet before it flew away. This is a wild bird. I have not seen any that let me get this close to them at the park.
I hope ya'll like this image of the hawk!

Crabapples are widely grown as ornamental trees, grown for their beautiful flowers or fruit, with numerous cultivars selected for these qualities and for resistance to disease.
There are over 35 species and 700 cultivated varieties of crabapples and have been a part of the home landscape for many years.
Blossoms often open from pink or red buds and change to paler shades after opening, creating a beautiful pink cloud lasting several weeks. Asian crab apple specimens are usually preferred for ornament because their fruits are more colorful and last into the winter providing food for over-wintering birds.
Apples and crabapples are in the rose family, Rosaceae, in the genus Malus. Crabapples are differentiated from apples based on fruit size. If fruit is two inches in diameter or less, it is termed a crabapple. If the fruit is larger than two inches, it is classified as an apple.
Due to their versatility, crabapples make excellent choices for use around homes, schools, parks, public and commercial buildings, and in highway plantings.
The (European) Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species.
The Red Deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor and parts of western and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red Deer have been introduced to other areas including Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina.
The elk or wapiti (Cervus elaphus canadensis or Cervus canadensis) are similar to the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) of which they were long believed to be a subspecies.
Generally, the male (stag or hart) Red Deer is typically 175 - 260 cm long and weighs 160 - 255 kg; the female is 160 - 210 cm long and weighs 120 - 170 kg. The shoulder height is about 105 - 140 cm.
European Red Deer tend to be reddish-brown in their summer coats.
Only the stags have antlers which start growing in the spring and are shed each year, usually at the end of winter. Antlers are made of bone which can grow at a rate of 2.5 cm a day. A soft covering known as velvet helps to protect newly forming antlers in the spring.
They inhabit open woodland areas, upland moors and mountainous zones.
They graze on grasses, sedges and shrubs but also browse tree shoots and can be considered a pest when reducing new re-forestation growth. Deer will also eat acorns when available to boost the diet prior to winter.
This picture was taken in Wildpark Frankenhof in Reken, Münsterland, Germany.
Het edelhert (Cervus elaphus), in jagersjargon roodwild, is een hertensoort die voorkomt in Europa, Azië en Noord-Amerika. De Noord-Amerikaanse ondersoorten, die in de Verenigde Staten wapiti en in Canada elk (niet te verwarren met het Britse elk dat een eland is) worden genoemd, worden soms als een aparte soort, Cervus canadensis, beschouwd. Ook Europa en Azië kent enkele ondersoorten.
Het edelhert komt in Nederland voor op de Veluwe, de Oostvaardersplassen en enkele kleiner (wild)parken. Af en toe wordt er een edelhert op de Utrechtse Heuvelrug gezien, alsmede aan de grens met Duitsland van aldaar toegelopen dieren.
In de zomer zijn de dieren roodbruin van kleur, in de winter grijsachtig bruin. De buikzijde is wit en het staartstuk is roomkleurig. Alleen de mannetjes hebben een gewei.
Het edelhert is op de eland na het grootste hert. De gemiddelde lichaamsgrootte van een edelhertenpopulatie wordt beïnvloed door meerdere factoren. Edelherten uit bosgebieden zijn kleiner dan die uit meer open gebieden, en de lichaamsgrootte neemt toe van West-Europa naar Oost-Europa. Ook zijn mannetjes groter dan vrouwtjes. De kop-romplengte ligt tussen de 160 en de 260 cm, de schouderhoogte tussen de 105 en de 140 cm. Mannetjes worden tot 255 kg zwaar, vrouwtjes tot 170 kg.
