With the chilly temperatures of autumn creeping into our bones in Nova Scotia, I felt like seeing a flashback to the drowsy heat of summer. This white rose in multiple exposure shows the warm glow inside the cool white petals. This beautiful flower was blooming in the middle of Halifax in the public gardens which are like a quiet oasis of peace with the bustling of the city surrounding it. As the gardens in the city, the heart of a flower is an oasis of visual sweetness for the visitor to sit and contemplate, just as it is literally for nectar seeking insects. I hope this warm-hearted rose has brought back a memory of summer days and taken some of the chill you might be feeling from the cold damp days of autumn.
Beautiful photo. I visited the Halifax Public Garden in July of 2015 and took many pictures there.
They really are beautiful, with so many different varieties and the pond and everything, a real oasis, thanks Valerie!
It is nice to see a reminder of summer. Beautiful colours.
Thanks very much Linda!
I love this!! It makes me feel Summer. I’m still stopping to smell my own roses that are blooming and celebrating every one.
I’m glad if it brought back a bit of summer warmth, Cathy! Keep smelling them. Will they soon be covered with snow? Thanks!
I do so love these. I really must gather some late Fall roses from the city rose garden before it’s too late! Beautifully done, Ellie.
Thanks so much, Sandi! I’m glad you like them and even gladder if it reminded you to take advantage of the beauty still surrounding your own place!
