if I only have june in my life

sometimes I wish it was june all year round
have you ever wondered what it would be like
just to bask at the warmth of the new spring sun
to walk barefoot in one’s garden
and witness all of nature’s glory
oh so sweet, so sweet my rose garden shows
for not one but an abundance of white
parading against the lush green canvas
but then I will miss the red, yellow, blue and purple
for they soon will show in July, August and September

My rose garden is now three years old.  I am glad now that I heeded away from all the horrors I’ve read about the hardship of maintaining a rose garden.  My hobby of photography led me to this new passion.  I never knew how I have been captivated by floral photography until now.  It’s funny isn’t it how one passion can lead us into many others.  As a result of this new obsession, I thought I’d share the beauty of these white roses before it’s demise.  What can I say?  It simply takes my breath away.  I will be posting the other colors as the new season progresses.

here is a quote for today:

Where flowers bloom so does hope.
