Thanks so much, Chris! You really did inspire me to snap a few shots in our yard and this was the best. I always think of my Mom when I look at roses so they hold a special place in my heart (and garden). 🙂 ♥ xo
That’s a new perspective, Marina, and since I love fall, I’ll agree with you. 🙂 Summer is great, too, but then I get tired of the heat after awhile…Hope your day was a good one, too, my friend! 🙂 xx
It’ll shine for awhile still, Binky,even in fall, but these roses won’t be around forever and I wanted to capture them before they left for the change of seasons. 🙂
Lauren, your words and lovely visual bring to mind the haunting verse “My love is like a red, red rose / That’s newly sprung in June / My love is like the melody / That’s sweetly played in tune”.
May there be everlasting sunshine on your roses…
Thanks, Sue! It is sad when summer bids its farewell, but I’m one of the autumn lovers, too. I love the changing colors of the leaves; a beautiful transformation. ♥
Haiku and photo beautiful.
