We have been experiencing a lot of this …
… fortunately punctuated by a bit of this …
… with shards of orangey-gold still to be found here and there …
… or even the gift of a little rosy red …
… and a dash of leafy medley …
… before time and wind sweep them all away.
It’s December in the northern hemisphere.
Happy Wednesday.
Can you believe it’s August already? Although it has been a very hot, humid and uncomfortable one for many of us, I hate to think of it as beginning a slide toward autumn. Nevertheless, there are still lots of flowers to enjoy and easily for the next couple of months.
The tea roses have been blooming like crazy, their faint rosy perfume quite detectable in the warm air …
… while the matador roses have been doing the same.
These are very ordinary, commonplace roses that will grow almost anywhere …
… but I do love seeing them lining footpaths and sidewalks. So pretty.
Happy Friday and happy August.
Tis the season …
… for roses!
Alpine roses …
… yellow roses …
… variegated roses …
… it’s a rosy time of year!
Happy Friday.
… are in charming abundance …
… adding beauty and depth ..
… to an ordinary day.
I hope there’s a little beauty in your day. Happy Wednesday.
The Coming Paradise
A beautiful photo of roses – the coming paradise – from Jonathan Chua at Helluva Times. Please click the link to see more of Jonathan’s beautiful pictures.
I found these little matador roses blooming merrily along in a protected little corner next to a walkway.
Such a lovely January find!
Happy Friday.
Penticton’s rose garden is beginning to fade, but the blooms are still lovely to see.
Happy Friday.
It may be autumn, but many flowers don’t know that, especially, it seems, the roses. Here’s a sample.
Well, maybe some roses know about it!
Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
I’ve posted a lot of flower pictures this week, but I think there’s always room for more.
Happy flower Friday.
The public rose garden in Penticton is still beautiful and will probably hold out for about another month before the gardeners put it to bed for the winter.
Given our lovely weather, lots of people are sitting among the flowers, eating lunch, reading, or just enjoying.
It’s a perfect place to escape life’s stresses.
Happy Tuesday.
