Summer Roses On Valentines Day

^{Here's my #monthlyauthorchallenge (SMAC) for today and also my entry into @adrianobalan's Roses Open Weekend Contest . See below for more info.}

It seems an appropriate time to be posting pictures of roses, it being Valentine's Day. They may not be red but they are equally beautiful and their scent was gorgeous.

Taken last summer, this photo represents my daily life well since roses are one of my favourite flowers and I can never resist the temptation to photograph them. I find it impossible to walk past a rose garden and not go in and "smell the roses". 😊
