Rose Time

Today's photo is fitting as I believe today is the Rose Parade for our city.  Our roses are taking off now.  The iris' phase is almost complete.  I each week it seems like a new flower is blooming.  This has been a great year for flowers.

I did notice my raspberries are starting to make fruit buds and our persimmon tree has little persimmon buds.  I hope they make it this year.  Last year they all fell off.

Here is one of rose's.  Practicing with my macro again of course.
