This is a rose glowing in the evening sun. I processed the image in Snapseed. The original image wasn’t perfectly sharp. I hope I’ve disguised that by enhancing the glorious colour. One from the archives but new to Flickr.
I am a relatively new convert to roses. I love the colours, the scents, the robustness. Not too keen on the thorns. Can anybody in the U.K. recommend gloves / gauntlets without leather?

These small Butterflies ( ws 23- 38 mm) are found along the margins of sloughs, streams, and rivers here in central Alberta.

This shot will help one understand why the bird is named 'Bronzed'. The bird is a daily visitor to the backyard and it loves to announce its arrival with a harsh grating call. Also they choose prominent perches from where to scan the surroundings for prey and so it makes it easy for us to get good shots of them. They are great flyers and are a joy to watch. They actively forage for insects under the forest canopy by making acrobatic aerial sallies, often returning to their favourite perches.
They are very similar to the other drongos of the region but are somewhat smaller and compact with differences in the fork depth and the patterns of gloss on their feathers.
Bronzed.

At low tide the ripples in the sand were reflecting the colours of the morning sunrise.
Post processed to bring out the definition of shapes and colour palette.
A hilltop in the middle of a large city in the early evening. To the left, near one of the trees, if you squint you can see the image of a statue. Pioneer Mother is “A memorial to mothers who made the arduous trip west to seek better lives for their families, the 13-foot bronze statue depicts a woman perched sidesaddle on a mount, holding an infant, her expression reflecting grim determination and exhaustion. She is flanked by two men with rifles and a weary pack horse.” Can you guess where this statue is located? Maybe somewhere near a famous trail leading settlers to the west?
Sahara sand came with southern winds and hides the sky colours of sunset, even the sun. Athens, Greece.
Largo da Sé is a charming square lined with orange trees […] and dominated by the city’s impressive cathedral plus a cluster of palatial buildings, including the Bishop’s Palace.
Built on the site of an old mosque following the Reconquest in 1251, Faro’s magnificent Sé Cathedral is blessed with a bold, basilica-like interior particularly notable for its 18th-century Baroque organ and wide nave flanked by exquisite azulejo tiles. Visitors who ascend the bell tower are rewarded with the most breathtaking views of the city’s old quarter, nearby wetlands and far beyond. Google
Mark Swan's bronze sculpture "Diva" at the Royal Horticultural Society Wisley Gardens in Surrey. There are plenty of sculptures in this vast area, and this one in particular, facing a pond and surrounded by benches where people can sit down and relax, produces an element of playfulness. Playfulness is important for horticulture which, at the RHS Wisley, people are a dead serious about.
Since I had the wing-tip shoes I graduated college in, and was married in, I got them bronzed at Nieman-Marcus in Chicago. II decided to try it with the weather. Heee

Unfortunately I couldn't find the plaque with the name of this striking sculpture author - neither on site no on the Internet. My French is probably not good enough for that. But I'd like to know... what are these offerings, what is the story?
These bronze whaler sharks inhabit subtropical waters, and they feed on smaller sharks, rays, and bony fish. Unfortunately, bronze sharks are prime targets for both commercial and sports fishermen.
This is by far the most beautifully metallic green individual I've ever found! Absolutely stunning!!

British Museum photo, cropped and with very minor level adjustments. An admirably clear institutional photo! And an unusual one, of a local fish. I think this is an African snakehead, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachanna_africana
The Benin "bronzes" have been much in the news in the art world of late. Nigeria has been seeking their return for decades, to little avail. But the French Musee de Quai Branly has agreed in principle to return their substantial holdings, which they purchased from the British Admiralty, which auctioned off much of their war booty from the conquest of the Kingdom of Benin in 1897. Details are here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benin_Bronzes
-- which includes a link to the BM holdings, by far the largest in the world.
