This is, as always when titled as such, just a first shot. I tend to wait and think about these before I opt to try and print them. In this case it’s nearly 100% likely I wouldn’t turn this into a print. It’s only claim to fame, I fear, is being first.

No drinking this week for me: I have symphony each evening and that means alcohol is a no-no. I can, however, post an alcoholic flower. 😉

This is from the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden. I hear they had a huge “pruning party” this past Saturday, so I’m guessing the roses are gone for the winter. I will look forward to the spring!

Today’s five mile walk included this lovely rose that encouraged me to pull the camera out even before my two mile minimum. (I have a little “rule” that I try to follow, walking 30 minutes before pulling out the camera. I don’t succeed all that frequently!)

Today’s walk was a wonderful eight mile trek to and from our Municipal Rose Garden. There are only a few blooms at this point, and so many of the plants look like they have a disease of some sort, but of course there’s always something to see! This is my first shot, and I may opt to crop it, but not yet. I have to decide on that. For now this will do!
