I've been desperately seeking roses in my neighborhood, Astoria...
It's ain't like Paris here :(
True we have been having heavy rains. Here's a bud desperately trying to become a rose...
Some other people have all the roses!
WAIT! A budlette is trying desperately to open! You rock BUD!!!
I thought roses and macarons would make a good watercolor combo.
Little did I know the local roses would elude me...
Et voila! A local rose has decided to show it's pretty face. Merci!
A lack of roses meant the spoons and cherries get a SECOND ACT!
Et voila! PB reader Marie-Paule Maurin sent me these exquisite photos she took of Paris roses!
"12 km from the center of Paris (west) last Saturday - Roses and...Summer plums"
Merci beaucoup Marie-Paule! :)
