No thorns here ...

I spent part of the day today exploring my city ... and wouldn't you know it I captured what I think are some great shots.

I have walked past the Heritage Rose Garden at least twice a month for the past 3 years or so and yet I had never really taken time to stop and smell the roses.

So today I stopped and enjoyed the sunshine and the smell of hundreds of different varieties of roses and I also got to play with the digital macro settings on my camera.
