I never promised you a Rose Garden!

Great song, but the Rose Garden in Duluth Minnesota is even better.

WE spent a day in Duluth this past weekend and found that even after the severe flooding, most all of the city was open.  The only sight we saw closed was the Zoo.

Don't get me wrong, some areas were very hard hit but there is no reason to change your plans for visiting.

We spent some time in the Rose Garden Park.  Here are a few gems we saw...

This is just a sample of the several dozens of varieties in this park.. I just wish I had been there a couple of hours earlier.

Thinking of a North Shore trip...Duluth is OPEN!

There is something about pictures of perfect roses which never gets old!  Love the vivid red ones!

I have always been a huge fan of roses myself Bill. I just planted about 8 new bushes in my back yard this Summer. Great pics!

Valerie...I used the basic 18-55 lens that came with the camera.  I shot these in both a action mode and flower mode (At least that is what I call the modes

Good morning. Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures. That's one thing I really love about AR...when you get a great picture, or two, you have an instant audience.
