Raindrops on a Rose (Rosa sp.)

Covered in fresh raindrops, this soft pink rose glows with quiet beauty. Each droplet rests gently on the petals, adding a sense of calm and freshness. Photographed in a neighborhood garden, this rose is one of many that brighten San Diego streets—roses are a common and beloved sight in local gardens, blooming almost year-round. The soft background and light help highlight the delicate textures and colors of the flower.
