in the group Flowers in Macro November 6
I was at my mom’s yesterday and there were a few of her roses that hadn’t succumbed to the frosts yet and so I thought I would take advantage of that fact and capture some of that beauty that will soon be resting during the winter for its next life season. So between now and then I’ll have some photography of the beautiful roses in her garden!
