This was taken late Sept. 2023. I wanted a good photo of these yellow roses, as well as the sailboat to the upper right of it. (I took a bazillion pics this day as I waited for my friend. You will be seeing more of these flowers, so stay tuned.)

I always liked that imagery- that I am grafted in to a very special tree of faith- so that's where the name comes from.
