I love this time of year, our hedgerow is coming alive with all kinds of life, these white wild roses are just one wonderful example.

When these Roses come out each year they are always wonderful to look at but they last such a short time, I would love it if they flowered all summer…
A Poem by :Robert Herrick
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day,
To-morrow will be dying.
The glorious Lamp of Heaven, the Sun,
The higher he’s a-getting
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he’s to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer:
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times, still succeed the former.
Then, be not coy, but use your time;
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.

All extraordinary images Nigel; I love especially the final image, the light on and through the petals and the bokeh

Thank you Scott, Having a dog that needs a very early morning walk helps 🙂 🙂

Wow. Stunning images, Nigel. I love the use of light and the almost abstract nature of the first two images. It’s easy to take a photo of a rose, but difficult to take this type of image and ‘pull it off’.
It takes skill to make the ordinary look extraordinary.
