Earlier this week I went on a crisp morning bike ride. I brought my camera along, hoping to capture some images of autumn.

What’s this? A big pink rose. Growing along a fence, reaching up over my head. Not what I expected. I’m not really a rose type person. I much prefer brilliantly colored leaves and sprouting mushrooms and piles of acorns gathering under the trees.

The rose caught me by surprise. Really? Is it rose season? The way the sunlight shown through it, it looked like stained glass or bunny ears or a big bubble of bubble gum.

Unexpected beauty. Be on the look out. It can make your day.
