First rose of summer by maggiemae

First rose of summer

The white roses were the first to come out this season and I wanted to do the white on white photo. Used a home made light box which is falling apart and lets light in from the corners.

Three good things:
1. Went all day without my watch on and survived.
2. Enticing a beautiful blackbird to eat crumbs on our patio table just outside the window.
3. John's putting up a watering system for my pot plants in the glass house. There is a few hot words going on!
Good for John...that sounds an excellent move...I can imagine him sweating in there poor man!
White roses are so elegant & cool.....I love a white garden.

How beautiful. I took a shot of one of the last roses of our summer today which is after several days of below freezing nights.

I hope John gets your watering system to work without too much exasperation!

@grammyn He had to buy an expensive pressure reducing valve as the pressure in our public system is not constant. Said it would be cheaper to throw all the plants out if they got parched while we were away and buy new ones! I persuaded him otherwise!

lovely curls to those rose petals. We have a watering system for our hanging baskets........saves so many hours over the summer of standing there watering

@tigerkat61 Thanks Peggy! Its probably for our own good to select the good parts or thoughts of the day. I do wonder whether we will go back into 365 to find the history!

Great shot, Maggie. A very lovely rose. I have to live by my watch. Too many appointments to keep up with.
