Great imagery... but did you mean POUND on the petals? or am I just not quite getting it? Anyway- paints a serene and beautiful picture.

Delightful image, Joe. Quite creative to have the rain feed the rose and the rose petals provide nourishment for the hummingbird. Best wishes for the contest. Love, Carolyn
