(The first of these is a picture of a beautiful plant bought at the farm down the road, showing one of my special places to sit and contemplate. The second shows my favorite flower which was taken from another's garden, as I await for my new lilac bush to bloom.  The last 4 are from the Rose Gardens in Portland, Oregon.)
