A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 47874
The rickety wooden fence at Barnbougle is a tribute to the old farm that the Lost Farm golf links course used to be. The farmer who owned the land decided at the turn of the millennium to develop the marginal farmland into two of the world's greatest links golf courses. Both The Dunes and Lost Farm are ranked in the top 100 courses in the world according the the US Golf Digest Magazine.
Now that interstate borders have reopened more Australian golf tourists will take advantage of this superb layout. It is to be hoped that international travel will be able to recommence sometime soon.
The image here is an infra red taken on my converted compact camera. It is a black and white with colour toned sky, using the blue stream of the tone curve.
* Thank you to those well-wishers who responded to my "Bookmark" about travelling to visit my father in hospital in Melbourne. I have arrived safely, and will probably be here now for several weeks. Our aim it to get my father home for Christmas.

For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
On Beinn a'Chaorainn, Laggan area Scottish Highlands, February some years ago. Canon A620 compact camera.
There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.
Alternanthera brasiliana has leaves which are usually colored purple-specked or luminous reddish-purple. Its vanilla-coloured, pom-pom flowers are ordered in compact clusters (7–20 mm long) in the top leaf branching and are small in shape. It can flower any time of the year, but in temperate and cooler subtropical climates it flowers more often in winter.
This ‘compact-reflex’ SLR camera was manufactured from 1977 onwards by the Japanese company Cosina (named Cosina CSM) for Porst in Nuremberg. Its M42 lens is an outstanding, fast lens that still impresses today with its sharpness and optical performance. CdS light metering and an electromechanical focal-plane shutter were, along with other features, state of the art for their time. It also still works perfectly and is in good condition, having always been well looked after. A flash is also included!
I went to see the tall ship now visiting Steveston. I could not get in close as the gates were closed. I did not have good luck for a dramatic sky.
Do you think it is good to see them parking at the dock or roaming on the sea?
Great weekend to everyone and Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends!!
