Wisteria

These two photos were taken at the base of the Wisteria bush in Jones Park. That bush has been there for as long as I can remember. The arbor supporting it was replaced about twenty years ago and now it's even looking old.

I took these photos with my cell phone, just to capture the history, but even with the smeared lens they turned out excellent. It must be the subject matter.

Stop and Smell the Roses

Last weekend Lief and I went for a bike ride. Actually Lief went for a bike ride and I followed as a support motorist since his route was planned to extend for more than 200 miles. While we were temporarily stopped I took advantage of the situation to literally "smell the roses" and here are some pictures of the roses I smelled.

This rose has the latin name Yellowus Rosus

This rose has the latin name Blueus Rosus

This rose has the latin name Blackberryus Rosus

As you may have guessed by now, I have no idea of the real latin name for these flowers. Well the bottom one is actually flowers on a blackberry vine. These flowers were just barely noticeable and quite a surprise to find alonge the side of the road.
