[MissHoneychurch]

taken last weekend at a "Rose festival"

1. Wonderful!

I need to try to learn to take close-up shots like that! Beautiful job, Miss Honey!

[MissHoneychurch]

2. I am happy they came out good

another try to make close-up shots. I really was scared they would come out blurry.

[AirmensMom]

3. They're gorgeous!

:bounce: :loveya:

I love flower pics. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

4. And now imagine the smell

when you get inside a building full of roses .... :D


:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

5. They smell?

:bounce: I know that sounds silly ... but whenever harleydad buys me roses, they never have a nice smell. :shrug: But the roses we grew always had nice smells. These must be the smelly kind. :9 It would be nice to be inside a building of those! Nice, natural rose fragrance! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Not all of them smelled

but a lot. So it was a light rose smell within the building. Loved it.

[AirmensMom]

7. Mmmmm ....

sounds wonderful!

[MissHoneychurch]

8. I didn't get the second film yet

as soon as I have it I will post a couple more.

[AirmensMom]

9. That'll be great!

I love seeing the pics of where you've been! :bounce:

26. Modern roses like hybred teas aren't noted for their scent

There are exceptions like Fragrant Cloud, but if you want the knock your socks off scent, you have to go with the Old Fashions like Albas, Gallicas, Rugosas, China Teas, etc.

Beautiful pictures, thanks for posting them.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. They had a lot of different roses in that show

as I don't know the names of roses, I don't know which were showed and which weren't.

[sarge43]

41. I'm sure there were Old Fashions on show

They're coming back in favor, so rose nuts are demanding them again.

10. Beautiful

I miss growing them - even with fungi, insects, fertilizing, constant trimming and all. There are so many different kinds, colors and scents - good reward for the work.

[MissHoneychurch]

11. True

The rose is for sure the queen of the flowers.

12. That last picture, with the children on the bench, is precious...

Wonderful pics! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Thanks MrsGrumpy

I thought it was a nice motive with the kids.

14. I love the topiary in the 5th picture!

The flowers are beautiful.
Thanks for the message or I might have missed seeing them.

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Hey Joani

:hug:

I missed you yesterday

[In_The_Wind]

22. Hey MissHoney!

I've been very busy getting ready to travel. It took most of the day to find a safe affordable place to stay. Sugar Smack's Father called me on the 21st saying that he was worried about us going to New Orleans at this time because the National Guard has been called-in. Daddy Sugar Smack ask if it was possible for us to go somewhere else. :shrug: I haven't been able to reach Miss Smack since our brief conversation on Monday morning so I made an executive decision yesterday to change our destination. I started checking everything along the coast from NOLA eastward. :banghead: After trying 1/2 different locations I gave up and went for a listing of all_of_the_hotels in the Keys. Then I spent the afternoon comparing and checking for an available reservation. The challenging part is July 4th is almost here and lots of the vacation spots are already booked. Finally I was successful!
It's within walking distance of the Lorelei www.loreleifloridakeys.com
The place is an efficiency with the cutest little kitchen. I'm going grocery shopping later after long lunch :party: celebrating Cherie's birthday today. I'll have the truck packed before bed tonight. Who knows where I'll sleep tomorrow night.





I missed you too.

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Thanks for the information

I hope you have a save trip and I look forward to hearing from you in between.

Make sure you take a lot of pics to show me (and others) :)

[Ptah]

16. Excellent photography, MissHoneychurch.

I especially like the single yellow rose.

:applause:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Thank you Ptah

I like that too. Also the white rose with that little green thingy in it.

[Brewman_Jax]

17. Rose festival

beautiful pics! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Thanks Lurking

:hi:

And how do you like the World Cup?

[Brewman_Jax]

20. As expected, with a few surprises

I didn't think Ghana and Australia would continue, but I knew that US wasn't getting past the 1st round. The 2nd round will be much fun. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

21. You are right

Ghana and Australia where a surprise. But Ghana is playing against Brazil next. I guess that will be their last game in this World Cup.

[Brewman_Jax]

23. Same for Australia

the next round includes Italy vs. Australia and Brazil vs. Ghana. I guarantee that Brazil will have the first team on the pitch.

[MissHoneychurch]

24. Yes

tomorrow Germany is playing Sweden. That is going to be an interesting game.

Were you able to watch some games?

[Brewman_Jax]

27. Been staying up late watching games

and dragging in the morning. I record the games so I can see them later. I watched (in addition to doing chores and late runs and training) 'til past 12 midnight Brazil vs. Japan, Netherlands vs. Argentina, France vs. Korea to name a few. Go football/fussball/futbol/voetball!

[MissHoneychurch]

28. There were some good games

but some of them were just boring.

I believe either Argentina or Brazil is going to get the Worldcup.

[Brewman_Jax]

32. My guess

final will be Netherlands vs. Brazil

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Now that would be interesting

I like the Netherland team.

When Netherlands played Argentina Frankfurt was a orange city ... LOL

[Brewman_Jax]

37. That ended in a tie

but Argentina vs. Mexico and Netherlands vs. Portugal, nothing is cettain.

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Well, if they don't are able

to kick a goal in 90 minutes, the Elfmeter (eleven meter) is the answer. And that is always interesting and a nerve breaker :popcorn: Either top or flop

[Brewman_Jax]

42. Oh, no!

not the PK shoot out!

:scared:

[wildhorses]

29. I love roses, yellow are my favorite

thanks for sharing
:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. You are welcome

I am happy to share my pictures with my friends :hug:

[Callalily]

33. Thank you so

much for sharing your pics with us. I especially like the fifth pic. I'm not familiar with rose names, but that one is just beautiful, intriguing.

I too love to take close-ups. I'll have to down load some pics and share someday.

I've been lazy today. Still in my jammies, and been procrastinating. But my mantra is, i will get some chores done today

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Hey Simply

so nice you showed up before I vanish into my weekend. I will leave the town and visit a friend.

You have all right to be lazy today. And chores can be done other days as well :D


I would love to see your pictures. I am fairly new to close-ups. Only doing them since last Christmas. So most of them still get blurry. But the roses turned out beautiful.

[Callalily]

36. Yes, your roses

did turn our beautiful, you should be proud. Through pics we can enjoy our trips over and over.

I will do a few chores today, but I'll certainly find time to take it easy.

Wishing you a great weekend filled with fun and laughter!

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Thanks simply

I wish you a wonderful weekend as well.

Doesn't it suck? Finally you have some time to chat and I have to leave. :hug:

[Callalily]

40. Yeah, we'll

have to set up an appointment, set aside some time so we can talk more.

Late hon . . .
