Roses

Happy June! Now we begin a month that is fulllll of birthdays. And I'm already behind, since Dania's is Monday and I have yet to send off a gift! Sorry, Dania!

Did you know June's flower is the rose? You probably do if you're a June baby. On my recent walks I've been noticing some of the awesome roses in bloom, so the other day I went to the rose garden downtown to take pictures. Rose photos are so cliché, but there's a reason. I feel like my appreciation for roses has been renewed lately. The layers of petals in a random-but-not arrangement are my favorite aspect. On this day it had just been raining, so I had the added bonus of droplets everywhere. Many of these photos are similar because I was focused (no pun intended) more on the color and layering detail than the overall scene.

This color kills me. It's so delicate and clean. I feel like decorating my bedroom in this pallet.

I was wishing for the macro lens, but I also felt like my lens was doing a pretty decent job at capturing the details.

This photo doesn't interest me that much, but I wanted to show you this yellow-orange color.

Loooove peach roses.

I actually had to desaturate some of these, because my camera seems to pump up reds and yellows so that you can't see details.

Thanks for looking! Do you have any exciting plans for June?
