Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

A nice surprise. I picked this just a day ago. Unseasonably warm weather this month has had it's pleasures.

Up Close

For the past several months, I've been learning to use my macro phone lens. It's tricky business but a lot of fun.It's been interesting to see what looks good under a macro lens and what doesn't. Certainly this rose in full bloom gave me a lot of practice.

This could be a mini series. We'll see about that. Today, a rose waiting to push off the old and welcome the new.

The Rose Knows

My friend Cathy's garden amazes me month after month,  as I visit often for our garden project.  Last week, this perfect red rose just seemed to know to tuck its head through the fence to adorn her birdhouse!

Last Rose

The snowfall in Birmingham was predictably short lived. It was gone by this morning for the most part. Still another image to share.
