Summer Roses

Roses are my favorite flower, especially pale pink roses (my wedding bouqet was made up of them exclusively). I had some nice rose bouquets around the house this summer. They never fail to help me feel happy and peaceful, no matter what else might be going on in my life.

I get a little obsessed with taking pictures of blooming roses. I can't help it! Their beauty is fleetingly intense and I have to capture it before they go the way of the earth. As Anne Shirley would say, "Drink them in!"
