A Floral Family

            It is autumn now where I live, but a few weeks ago I was blessed with an  Indian summer day, perhaps one of the last before the real autumnal weather arrives, so I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions.  On my walk I went past a garden of a pretty Art Deco maisnette which always has a well maintained garden.  By the gate it had a single rose bush still in bloom, with wonderful apricot flowers!  I don't know what variety this is, but as its blooms grow older, not only does it expand to reveal a very complex petal structure, it also bleeds its colour until it is almost peaches and cream colour.  It has a very light and soft fragrance which I think rather suits it.  Clinging together against the wind - it was rather a blustery afternoon – they appear to me to be a family, with mother at the top, protecting her three buds from the weather conditions.
 
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 21st of April is "flowers and/or buds".  In this case my image is both flowers and buds.  As potentially the last blooms of their season, I hope you like my choice for the theme and that it makes you smile!
