My late wife had a number of rose bushes. I can't remember the name of most, though I believe this was called a "Peace Rose".

Playing around in the garden with an old lens.

Currently flowering in my garden.

This white rose may not be the most original subject, but it happened to be convenient when I was testing an old camera. :-)

My lovely wife tells me this climbing rose is called "Pierre De Ronsard". It's currently flowering well and probably best viewed large.

My lovely wife assures me this is called a Peace Rose. With the slight drop of rain today, I couldn't resist taking a photo.

Today I saw an online news item in which Canon suggest the camera market could drop by 50% in two years, as smartphones take over. tinyurl.com/yd76xmqn As I've been playing with a new phone the past few days (see recent images) the growing capability of phones has really come home to me. One of the two images above was taken with my phone, the other with a 50mm lens on a full frame DSLR (slight editing to crop, adjust some tones, but little else). If you've a few minutes to blow this up as large as possible you may care to try guessing what took which. I much prefer a 'real' camera, but this little exercise over the past few days really has been food for thought.

We have had a very wet month, but I managed to grab this shot between showers. Explored. Here's a musical link, which may seem a little obscure to some. It becomes a little clearer at 5.23.

Taken today in our garden - I heard an election also was being held somewhere at the same time. Thoughts of this Peace Rose suddenly seem more relevant, as does this accompanying track. Best viewed large. Explored.

Just playing around with a newly acquired but 'not-so-new' lens. Best viewed large. Explored.

I haven't had a flower shot for a while. Try this against a black background.

Just a few mm of rain, but it was greatly needed. "Peace" rose.

I'm told it's called "Just Joey".
