I have loved roses since I was a teenager and received my first one from a boyfriend. I love their fragrances. And I love their simple beauty. And I miss having a rose garden to call my own. When we moved two years ago I had to leave my small rose garden behind. They would not have survived the move during the middle of summer when it is its hottest. These days I must admire the rose garden at the local park within the community center.
I took this photograph just as spring was coming to an end and summer was starting to heat up. I used my Canon EOS Rebel Ti1 with the 18-55mm lens. I was using the monochrome setting at the time. My exposure was 1/80 sec, aperture was set to f4.6, and my focal length was 33mm. I took this in the evening around 7:48pm.
