Many things from here and there
Roses everywhere you look
I sometimes think that June should be its own season, at least around here, it is usually rather chilly, often times colder and grayer than May, but the weather is perfect for roses.
June is a very rosy month around here. I have a few bushes in my yard but some of my neighbors go all out. There is one lady who has roses climbing high up into her evergreen trees. I used to think of her (since I don’t know her name) as the crazy rose lady…but then I realized she probably really should be called the sane rose lady. Her yard is a bit overgrown, it’s not unkempt or neglected, just very alive, but the smell of roses greets you from a block away.
Where fairies live
Perhaps because we mostly have alder and evergreens locally I was quite fascinated by some of the trees, mostly I think they were sycamore, or plane trees, that we saw while walking Hadrian’s Wall National Trail in England last summer.
I think I love them because they remind me of fairy stories.
Raindrops on roses
Today’s somewhat dreary more-than-mist-but-less-than-rain covered my Peace roses with pearly looking little droplets.
Walking the wall
Here are a few from one year ago today, when we were walking between Carlisle and Crosby-on-Eden.

Orange you glad it’s spring?
The bees are.
An almost Wordless Wednesday.
Cee’s Flower of the Day a bit of a stretch, different flowers but they are all one color.
Which way to the Karst?
I continue to try and work with photos taken on my recent trip to China. Here are a few more from our Li River Cruise Trip.
Raindrops on Rhodies
Images taken in my yard during a shower this morning. It is just a little early for roses here.
