I hope you enjoy this rose from the New York Botanical Garden. Tomorrow I’m off on a new adventure and won’t have access to my computer until next Monday. I hope you have a beautiful week. In the meantime, get lots of flower photos from Cee’s Flower of the Day posts.

Flower of the Day: NYBG Rose Garden

I have been debating about doing one post on the Rose Garden from the New York Botanical Garden or doing a series of posts featuring individual flowers. The weather was interesting without getting wet and it made for fabulous photography. So I’m going to feature individual roses for a few days and then do a post with the rest. It was almost overwhelming to be surrounded by such visual and fragrant beauty. I wish I could have roses here, but it would just be a buffet for the deer. So enjoy as I share the beauty of the NYBG Rose Garden. For more beautiful flowers check out Cee’s Flower of the Day.

This morning I got up early and went to the Frelinghuysen Arboretum. I have so many flower and tree photos to share! I’m going to try to do one a day for the next few days.

I have been seeing these lovely blooms all over and didn’t know what they were until this morning. I think I want some of these rhododendrons for my yard, too. I love this little landscape at the arboretum.

For more lovely flower photos check out Cee’s Flower of the Day posts. I hope you have a beautiful day.

This house is in the Frelinghuysen Arboretum just a few miles from our house. This place is so gorgeous with spring busting out all over. I may do more than one Thursday Doors doorscursion of this place.

It has doors all the way around it.

The bottom and side photos are doors that lead into the rose garden, which is still taking its winter nap. Here is some history of the place.

For more fabulous door photography check out Norm 2.0.

I hope you have a beautiful day.

Flower of the Day: Indoor Daffodils

I had a fun photo shoot with some daffodils yesterday.

I like how the focus on the second flower makes it seem as if it is peaking out from that brash and unfocused front flower. If you want to see more lovely blooms check out Cee’s Flower of the Day posts. She has some outdoor daffodils for your viewing pleasure.

I hope you have a beautiful day.

Here is my contribution to Cee’s Oddball Challenge.

“Oddball:  noun   a person or thing that is atypical, bizarre, eccentric, or nonconforming
                 adjective  whimsically free-spirited; eccentric; atypical”

Cee has had an influence on how I see the world. Now when I seriously overly hard boil an egg I see a potential photograph, rather than a mess. Thanks Cee.

It is such a surprising shape. I hope you have a beautiful day.

Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world.  Thank you to Norm 2.0 for hosting!

Some more doors from my new hometown. This church, Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church, is across the street from the library I featured last week. In fact, you can see the library in the background of the sign.

This church has quite a few lovely doors and archways. I would like to go to a service here one of these days. The stained glass windows and organ are supposed to be amazing, too.

There are a number of interesting paths in the above montage, but my favorite is the one below. This gateway is so inviting and I think it would make a lovely entry for Cee’s Which Way Challenge.
