@juliedduncan@jo13@nairda@gailmmeek Thanks guys. I'm afraid I didn't smell the rose. It was in a 'random' garden, so I took several shots and moved on before someone reported me to the police! I do get some strange looks when I walk around our neighbourhood with my camera. People are quite suspicious here - and no-one walks anywhere, certainly not with a camera in hand!
Lovely light and composition Issi! I like the way it shows roses in different stages of their lives. We still have roses blooming in Toronto too, but in other ways we definitely know it's autumn, soon to be followed by you-know-what.
