The rose is Tineke and was photographed at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden. I've yet to add hundreds upon hundreds of photos to my Bahá’í-inspired artwork on this website. I used to have several thousand photos with excerpts from the Bahá’í Writings, but I was unaware that my computer monitor was not able to be calibrated and for years my photos were too dark. I probably will never be able to re-create all those photos before the end of my life. However, I'll try. 

If you visit this site and enjoy it and the Bahá’í Writings that are featured, please share with family and friends. If you cannot afford a photo to frame, please send me an email, and I'll send you an original that you can use for personal (not commercial) use.

The featured photo is Cherry Parfait and it is one of my favorites. The second is Sparkle & Shine. They were photographed at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden. I was blessed with having lived in Cupertino for a decade. We lived about 15 minutes away from the rose garden.
