I think we've reached 30 days straight of rain here in Washington state. I'd say it's time to bring out a little beauty from the archives! This was taken at the rose gardens in Point Defiance Park, located in Tacoma, Washington. Hope you enjoy! :)

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. --Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
