With snow falling here today -- 6 to 10 inches possible -- it seemed appropriate to delve into the summer photo archives, where I found these peonies and roses . . .
The good news about living in the southern hemisphere is that it IS summer now....the bad news is that your summer is my winter. Your flowers are the prefect thing for your winter.
LadyJC: Thank you. Spring certainly doesn't seem all that close today. I had a snow day, so went for a 3-mile walk with my camera. Now I feel like I could use a nap, lol.
NatureFootstep: Thanks. I think what I like best about that one is how the flower in the forground is crisp, while all the foliage around it is blurred. No idea how I did that. *g*
Jana: Won't be too much longer now...only about six weeks according to the calendar...maybe longer depending on what the Groundhog says on Saturday. *VBG*
Beautiful roses!
ReplyDeleteThank you!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Betty! At least your winters are not as frigid as ours -- though I wouldn't want a summer as hot as yours, either.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! They make me miss Spring and Summer soooo much. But, it's just around the corner! Have a wonderful WW!
ReplyDeletemy favourite photo is the red one not yet open.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Angela. I couldn't resist these peonies and roses that were planted together.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelley! : )
ReplyDeleteKimberly: Thank you. I confess, the pink rosebud and top and bottom peonies are my peraonle favorites. *g*

ReplyDeleteYeah, Winter is a great time to delve into archives. It's such a colorless time of year.
ReplyDeleteAlice: Indeed it is. Might have to do more of that in the coming weeks. You know--until I can get out on a more regular basis.
