I took this shot from a window and downloaded it on my computer. Then I saw two evil green aphids on this beautiful rose. So I shot out and fingered them off but also found white spots on nearby roses - just the beginnings of aphids. So more fingering and glad I had this chance.
Thankful for:
Road works just outside the gate meant red lights so cars had to stop! I suggested to John he got out and cleaned their windscreens for a gold coin donation! Needless to say, he didn't move a muscle!
Lovely bud, beautifully captured, aphids and all! So good to have spotted the little nasties and eradicated them! Photography comes useful in more ways than one!
Your photo saved the day…out with the aphid spray! Hope the stopping & starting if the traffic isn’t noisy although I know the road is not that near the house.
@happypat With our windows closed it was hardly noticeable and because they knew they had to stop, cars and trucks were slowed down. Not roaring past with a thundering thump!
Sounds like an easy way to make some quick money. I’m so surprised John didn’t take up your suggestion!
