With Spring FINALLY arriving in the Tampa Bay area, I thought I'd post a sure sign of Spring in these parts.This Rose was in the garden at Veterans' Memorial Garden at the Safety Harbor Marina a couple weeks ago when I went out for our regular Monday Night Meetup.
I love the smell, texture and color of Roses. The ones people buy from florists are beautiful, but they're too perfect. This is the kind of Rose most people plant in their gardens. Not only are they beautiful, but their fragrance can only be topped by Orange blossoms, as far as I'm concerned. The bees love them though, so I need to be careful around them because I'm allergic to bee stings.
I know, you're all thinking about how many bees I photograph--I do it with a very, long lens. Usually, bees aren't intimidated by lenses being poked in their faces. They're too busy going about their business. Just imagine without bees and butterflies, we wouldn't have such beautiful flowers in our gardens.

I can smell your rose all the way in Mexico!!! This is a marvelous spring photo--the lighting is exquisite! I love the soft background, the texture of the petals, the framing--everything about it is pleasing! WOW!
Thank you sooooo much, Margo. I really appreciate your comments. You are truly a good friend.
