Macro Monday: Rose Hips in New Haven

We were in New Haven this past weekend visiting my daughter, Anna, at City Point. It was so warm that we didn't have to wear jackets or boots! John and I took a walk at New Haven Harbor like we always do, and I photographed these rose hips from last summer. There were no flowers yet, which was disappointing. But New Haven is a photographic heaven for nature photography and urban photography.

Roses

Different roses in the gardens at home. Above, an old garden rose from a nursery. It has no fragrance.

Above and below: white wild, or heritage, rose. The most wonderful fragrance. These roses are all over the property.

Above and below: wild roses. I've always called these beach roses because they grow on the Connecticut beaches on Long Island Sound. They are my favorite roses.
