May's topic for the Focus on Life 2014 weekly photography challenge is
'In, At and About'
"This week we are focusing on what is IN Bloom!"
The only thing blooming here in the desert right now is the heat.
Well, there's tons of saguaro blooms that are looking pretty awesome right now, but I couldn't capture a good pic of those this week.
And, bougainvilleas and bird of paradise are always in bloom here when it's summer and super hot, but the pics I took of those didn't come out as well as this shot of one of the last roses in our rose bush.
The pics from the top looking down on the rose showed all the scorched petals, so I chose this angle because it looked the prettiest!
Okay, back to the bloomin' heat!
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Beauty In Bloom!
Cheers,
~Shel~
*A little side note,...

The rose is lovely. And what a great photo of you and your dad.
ReplyDeleteLove the perspective on your rose. I don't see many of them out here - you must have a green thumb. Sweet pic of you and your Dad, too. Looks like you had the Farah hair going on - pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the angle of the rose in your photo. Plus the one of you and your dad is priceless.
ReplyDeleteYour angle on the rose makes it look downright uplifting! Nice picture tribute to your dad,

ReplyDeleteI love that angle, you would never know it was scorched on top! That's a sweet photo of you and your dad. :)
