A friend recently commented on a photograph of a rose, that they hoped it was not the last rose of the season, and I am now very pleased to report that it is not.
Autumn is now well and truly with us here in Melbourne, and the cooler winds of seasonal change are blowing away the remnants of summer, like it tosses the red, gold and orange leaves that carpet the ground.
There have been a few lovely and sunny days recently, some warm and others cool. I have made sure to take advantage of the sunny conditions when they have been present.
On one of my walks I passed by this beautiful vermilion rose bloom, which caught my eye from across the street with its vibrant colour. It looked so beautiful in the sunlight. I do hope that you like it too!
Although autumn has now well and truly given way to winter here in Melbourne, there is still a great deal of colour around if you remember to take your time, stop and smell the roses, like this vermilion beauty which I saw on a walk to visit a friend the other day.
The day I took this photo was a lovely and sunny day with bright blue skies: an unusually warm day for winter, although there was a crispness in the air if you were out of the sun. I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions, as rain arrived the evening after.
I took an afternoon stroll in the autumn sunshine in May, and I walked past this beautiful bright yellow rose in a hedge basking in the sun. It was crying out to be photographed.
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour and ornamental vines.
Melbourne experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only are there still plenty of beautiful blooms about, but the Autumnal colours are starting to appear.
Although autumn has now well and truly given way to winter here in Melbourne, there is still a great deal of colour around if you remember to take your time, stop and look around you.
Thus when I was on a walk to visit a friend of mine a few weeks ago, I went past a garden that always has a lovely show of marguerites at this time of year. Sitting the glorious sunshine that day, their pink petals reminded me of a party frock. This particular variety is quite an old fashioned double petal marguerite called "Jill's Pink".
Argyranthemum is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. Members of this genus are sometimes also placed in the genus Chrysanthemum. They include African daisies, oxeye daisies and marguerite daisies. The genus is endemic to Macaronesia, occurring only on the Canary Islands, the Savage Islands, and Madeira.
I have been driving past this barn on an occasional basis literally for decades, but the light was never "right", at least until one day last Spring. The years haven't been that kind to this barn, but (like so many of us) it's still standing!
Although autumn has now well and truly given way to winter here in Melbourne, there is still a great deal of colour around if you remember to take your time, stop and smell the roses, like this red velvety bud, rich with promise, which I saw on a walk to visit a friend the other day.

I'm not sure what this ruined structure at the rear of the beautiful Aurora Inn might have been in its glory days, but it makes an interesting contrast to an otherwise peaceful scene on a spectacular spring day in New York's Finger Lakes.
Today was an Indian summer day, perhaps one of the last before the real autumnal weather arrives just in time for Easter. Therefore I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions.
On my walk I went past a garden of an old Edwardian bungalow which had a single rose bush still in bloom, and what magnificent blooms they were too! I don't know what variety this is, but its complex petal structure is so architectural and beautiful. It reminded me of swirls of strawberry ice cream. It has a light fragrance which I think suits this delicate bloom nicely.
Seen along the reknowned Kankamangus highway in New Hampshire, this barn is part of a 19th century homestead that most definitely did not enjoy good cellular coverage!
Yesterday and today were beautiful Indian summer days as Autumn slowly creeps in through the shadows.
As I work from home, I get a lovely view of my rear garden over my back terrace. Looking up I saw my "Nahema" rose, which has what may possibly be its last bloom for the season, bathed in morning light. I rushed out to capture the bloom, highlighted and illuminated by the morning sun.
"Nahema" was bred by Georges Delbard, in France, from "Grand Siecle" and "Heritage" in 1991 and released in France in 2006. "Nahema" has established a reputation as one of the best fragrant climbers on the market. It produces masses of highly fragrant and deeply cupped old-fashioned blooms with velvety petals of delicate almond blossom pink. This rose blooms in profusion throughout the season with a strong perfume of citrus, peach, apricot, pear and rose. The renowned perfume of the Guerlain range of perfumes is based on the essence of this rose.
I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I noticed this old fashioned mauve rose in the very well maintained garden of a stylish 1920s Art Deco stuccoed brick villa. A shy beauty, she was partially hiding behind some of her leaves, like a young lady of the Victorian or Edwardian era hiding behind her fan. When I pulled the leaves back, her mauve beauty shone. I was also treated to her beautiful old fashioned rose fragrance, which was sweet, and not at all overpowering.
Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which is now bleeding well and truly into a wetter and greyer than average spring, however on the rare sunny days we are currently getting, the showing of flowers and blossoms is beautiful.
I went out for a lovely walk a few weeks ago, and whilst on it, I walked past this rose growing in the front garden of an Edwardian villa, basking in the dappled light. With its soft pink petals, this shy beauty caught my eye. I could not resist photographing it.
Summer finally came to Melbourne after a long and grey winter, and one of the wettest springs on record, and everywhere, the gardens burst forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours.
I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine(unusual in what has been a very grey and rainy spring this year), and I walked past a house with a delightful rose garden all out in bloom after a few consecutive sunny a d warm days. This included a "Blue Moon" rose bush, whose soft lilac flowers were too beautiful not to photograph.
Strongly fragrant, "Blue Moon" is a ravishing Hybrid Tea Rose with double lavender flowers of around forty petals. Blooming in flushes from spring to autumn, this bushy, upright shrub is ideal was bred by Mathias Tantau of Rosen Tantau in Germany in 1964. It is very popular for its strength and beautiful blooms.

Although autumn has now well and truly given way to winter here in Melbourne, there is still a great deal of colour around if you remember to take your time, stop and smell the roses, like this dainty little pale pink beauty which I saw on poking its head out from amidst a hedge of bright red berries on a walk in early June.
The day I took this photo was a lovely and sunny day with bright blue skies: although there was a definite crispness in the air if you were out of the sun.
I took an afternoon stroll in the autumn sunshine in May, and I walked past this beautiful bright pink rose basking in the sun, which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa. It was crying out to be photographed.

Who ever saw a frozen rose in the middle of summer on a thirty eight degree day?
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 14th of January is "frozen flora", which for me posed a great challenge, as I live on a continent that has very little in the way of snow, and it's the middle of summer. However, they aren't called challenges for nothing, and I enjoy a good challenge!
I took a pale pink rose from my New Year table centrepiece and sprayed it with water before freezing it. I did this several times a day over consecutive days, adding fresh water every time to help build up the frosty iciness on it's petals, until after a week, I finally had my finished result. What was funny was that day I photographed it, the temperatures were in the very high thirties (Celsius) so I had to be quick with my shots and create something of a frosty flora miracle in the middle of summer before it melted away.
After all of that, I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile!

Summer has come to an end here in Melbourne, where I live. It was late in getting here after a long and grey winter, and one of the wettest springs on record. Now it is gone, giving way to wat promises to be a beautiful autumn. Beautiful blooms are still appearing in the gardens around me, bursting forth in profusion and in beautiful colours. This includes my Papa Meilland rose bush.
Papa Meilland is a magnificent French hybrid tea rose. Named in honour of a Doyen in the rose breeding world by his Grandson, the now famous Allain Meilland, Papa Meilland has dark, velvety crimson coloured petals and a magnificent, strong, old rose fragrance. This rose was bred in France and introduced in 1963. I have two of these bushes in my front garden, and although white roses are my favourite type of rose, the Papa Meilland rose would come a very close second!
I took an afternoon stroll in mid August during a beautiful bout of rather spring like weather, and I walked past this beautiful bright pink rose basking in the sun, which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish Edwardian villa. Standing in prime position by the fence, she was crying out to be photographed.
Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which will hopefully lead to a beautiful spring showing of flowers and blossoms.
Yesterday morning I walked to my front door and a beautiful flash of colour caught my eye as the sun in the east gilded one of my Papa Meilland rose blooms. I just had to go out and photograph it.

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 21st of January is “bubbles”. And what could be more deliciously fabulous than deliciously crisp French champagne in a champagne coupe? The champagne used for this photo was Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve from France, and the glass is a fine 1920s crystal champagne coupe, one of a pair, given to my partner and I as a gift by friends on our anniversary. I do hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile! Cheers!
This Blackberry Nip hybrid tea rose was given to me by a very close friend when my Grandfather (who was my substitute father) died some four years ago. It sits in a pot at the foot of my front steps so that I can say "hullo" to it every day when going out and coming home from work. Blackberry Nip has unusual colouring, and is quite a rare breed I am told. It has a combination of exceptionally rich magenta tones with a mauve blush, and it has a delightful fragrance.
Although autumn has finally arrived in my rose garden, the weather has been so warm and sunny that a profusion of buds that will soon become colourful blooms has formed on this bush as it puts forth a new flush.

I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful old fashioned golden yellow rose bloom which is on a bush which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1920s Art Deco stuccoed brick villa. Basking in the sunshine, she was crying out for me to take her picture, and I was only too happy to oblige. In the process, I was also treated to her beautiful old fashioned rose fragrance, which was sweet, but not overpowering.

My "Gold Medal" hybrid tea rose is always the first to bloom in my rose garden every year. This year, in spite of bad weather, an excessive amount of rain and more grey and overcast spring days rather than fine, my "Gold Medal" has had the finest showing of blooms looking at all the buds about to burst out in the first flush of blooms.
The "Gold Medal" hybrid tea rose was first bred in 1982 in the United States by Jack Christensen, and later introduced to market by Armstrong Nursery. Jack is the youngest rose breeder to develop an All-American rose and he is credited with hybridising over eighty different types of roses. This rose was created by crossing elements from the roses Granada, Garden Party, and Yellow Pages. The result is a gorgeous yellowish rose that has rich copper accents, that ultimately fades to a soft cream color.
Spring has finally come to Melbourne after a long and grey winter, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.

Fast disappearing from UK streets, the iconic red telephone box and an unusual double red pillar box. Seen from the top of a bus near Islington. I think it unusual to see these two together. Very often these telephone boxes have new uses; not here.
It is autumn now where I live, but a few weeks ago I was blessed with an Indian summer day, perhaps one of the last before the real autumnal weather arrives, so I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions. On my walk I went past a garden of a pretty Art Deco maisnette which always has a well maintained garden. By the gate it had a single rose bush still in bloom, with wonderful apricot flowers! I don't know what variety this is, but as its blooms grow older, not only does it expand to reveal a very complex petal structure, it also bleeds its colour until it is almost peaches and cream colour. It has a very light and soft fragrance which I think rather suits it. Clinging together against the wind - it was rather a blustery afternoon – they appear to me to be a family, with mother at the top, protecting her three buds from the weather conditions.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 21st of April is "flowers and/or buds". In this case my image is both flowers and buds. As potentially the last blooms of their season, I hope you like my choice for the theme and that it makes you smile!

I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful "Julia's Rose" which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa.
Introduced in 1976 by Wisbech Plant Farm in the United Kingdom, "Julia's Rose" is an unusual colour blend of coffee, lavender and pink blushes on long smooth stems. A tall open bush, this rose repeat flowers often in clusters from October to May and in cooler weather can become completely coffee-coloured.

This year, in spite of bad weather, an excessive amount of rain and more grey and overcast spring days rather than fine, my "Gold Medal" has had the finest showing of blooms looking at all the buds about to burst out in the first flush of blooms. This is one of its glorious buds. The colour is most intense when the flowers are still buds, and as the bloom grows older, the colour fades away until it is almost white.

Found attached to the slate wall of Owego, NY's Riverwalk, this object is of uncertain utility. But at some point, someone must have thought it appropriate to lock it down!
