In looking through all of my rose pics for 2017, I was just astounded at how many gorgeous roses there were. 2017 must've been a terrific year for roses...and I'm sure the weather was probably perfect, as well!

Hope you all enjoy!

I have been away from Flickr for a bit and I will probably be away from it a bit more. My computer is going downhill and I figured I would try to get one last photo posted before I buy another computer. I hope it will be soon. This was actually an experiment to get one last photo uploaded. I tried yesterday and it didn't work. I hope to be able to see my Flickr friends' photos on this computer, but if I doesn't work I will have to use my phone, but it's not the same thing.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer.
