wistful roses

Can you tell I'm enjoying the macro feature on my new camera?! So useful for capturing those raindrops.
Yes, roses are still coming, but mostly they look sort so forlorn; I find myself looking forward to pruning them back & giving them a fresh start for the new year. In the meantime, I'm trying to resist my compulsive deadheading tendencies. The first one, aptly enough, is called "Singing in the Rain."
