I had the first three photos of the rose, Rosencrantz and Stretch prepared for the blog, but I couldn’t remember the name of the rose. I went out to look at the label in the twilight, and there were two gas balloons floating by — lit up by the glow from the sun that had set some minutes before. I got the name of the rose, Cabana, then sat down on the bench in the middle of the circle garden and watched the balloons disappear behind the trees. Then I sat on the bench for several minutes and reflected on the sunset in the gazing ball.
Off Center & Not Even 
Cabana is really interesting and your photo is beautiful. The last photo shows your land so different from any time that I have been fortunate to see it.
Caban is interesting. It’s really erratic on the form of it’s roses, but when it puts on good form, the results are stunning.
Wonderful images, all
Thanks, Susan. It was interesting that I decided to go out to get Cabana’s name when I did. I would have missed the gas balloons, otherwise.
Wow! I love the photos today. Cabana – beautiful, Rosencrantz – regal, Stretch – curious as ever, the balloon – surprising and the gazing globe scene – unique and beautiful.
