Roses - AGAIN again!

LaFoto · Jul 4, 2005

My father-in-law had raved about his beautiful roses on the phone and I had hoped there'd still be some around yesterday when we went over for my parents-in-law's joint birthday party, and indeed, I still found the odd flower.

And there are still some promises out there...

... and blossoms without ...

...or with some funny inhabitants

Thank you - also I think that this close-up came out nicely.

Amazing lens does that tiny digital Canon have - not even the macro version of the extended zoom lens of the "big" Canon (the non-digital SLR) would allow me to get this close into the flower. Makes me happy

These were taken on the same occasion and with the same camera as the "Hanging Strawberry", i.e. last Sunday on the joint birthday party of my parents-in-law, of who my mother-in-law has turned 83 on June 30 and my father-in-law will turn 82 on 8 July.

Which of these would you enlarge and give to him?
Or would you suggest I prepare a collage?
