Red Roses

These roses are along my walking route.  I like roses, but I haven't had much success with them in my own flower beds.

This morning when I was on the way to work at Huntington, I noticed these roses growing on this white arbor. I didn't have time to stop then, but I did on my way home. I loved the green leaves and the red of the roses against the white of the trellis.

The mosaic was created at the website, Big Huge Labs. I learned about it from people in my new Flickr group for the June, July and August Photo Project. #JJAProject. You can have a lot of fun on this website!

I had dinner at Hy-Vee tonight. On the way out, I snapped this photo in the florist shop.

Once again, I was awaken by a thunderstorm this morning, but after a rainy morning the day has become beautiful. While I broke down yesterday and turned on the air conditioner, I was able to switch it off again this evening. I just returned from a very pleasant walk around the neighborhood. Beauty is almost everywhere you look. Because of all the rain, plants are lush and green. This beautiful rose is not in my neighborhood. It is one of the many gorgeous roses I saw when I was in the Lowe's Garden center. It will make a great addition to someone's flower garden.
