Branches laden with roses,
Nature’s bouquet!
A feast for the eyes
For all to see,
Morning, noon, and night.
The roses have been abundant beyond belief this summer. It didn’t matter whether one looked through the back window into the back garden or through the front window or door into the front garden. I enjoyed sitting out and enjoying them with their profusion of colour. Colour makes our world and our lives bright and brightens our spirit as humans.
This collage shows some of the spectacular roses that were in bloom. The branches were weighed down with roses but Nature’s strength held them all. I wrote the little verse at the top. It was truly a big bouquet that graced our eyes every day. To enjoy them was delightful but I’m happy to also have these photos to preserve the memory. Many other flowers are blooming now and the garden is still as beautiful as ever.
My husband is the gardener. He spends hours to make the garden bloom as it does. I simply enjoy it. As with all processes in life, there are those who enjoy the planting and growing process and there are those who enjoy the finished work. Both are necessary.
Hope you like this collage and enjoy the roses.
“I should like to enjoy this summer flower by flower,
as if it were to be the last one for me.”
