Found Beauty.

I saw this beautiful flower while walking to

the car from church Saturday. I got my

camera and went back for a closer look.

I imagine I've passed it by several

times the past few weeks.

I sat my butt down and admired this "Carolina Cherokee
Rose" plant. I imagine people thought I was a little off center.
I suppose I am no longer shy when it comes to snapping.

This rose has quite a folk lour story. "The trail
of Tears", the tears of Cherokee mothers
who's children died on the "Trail of tears",
As they walked to the Reservation in 
Oklahoma, from Georgia, South and
North Carolina's.
