I’m waiting for the heat to go away. Last winter the flowers came back because our winter is not too cold. 🙂

Nice rose Pete do you know the variety? By regular cutting back I often get roses in flower through to December (if mild enough)

Thank you Brian 🙂 I will have to get back on the variety. Same here with cutting back. This is the second flowering.

Lovely. A mellow rose for an (allegedly) mellow season. Hope the storms haven’t damaged it.

Like Ark I was wondering where you had disappeared to. Glad to see it is just other projects taking up your time and nothing untoward. 🙂

I have to say there has been severe neglect of macro photography and poetry on my end. But I travelled to India and Australia at the end of last year … wonderfully distracting and enriching.
Have you been away?
Please get out and give your camera a work out… it will motivate me 😊

I am so pleased you have enjoyed your travels Diana. Sounds wonderful and most inspirational. You must have many magic moments to recollect on!
Here though has been less interesting. I have been caught up in house renovation, and then I moved on to music composition and made another album, another passion of mine which I dip in time to time and do really enjoy. Then more house renovation. But alas I have neglected the camera, and I will now look forward very much to indulging once more!
