This rose just started blooming in my backyard.
Posting for Cee’s Flower of the Day.

This rose sits right next to my Frida Kahlo rose, in my front yard. It has been blooming continuously since I returned from the Philippines, end of April.

From challenge host San:
The Which Way photo challenge is all about capturing the roads, walks, trails, rails, steps, signs, etc. we move from one place to another on. You can walk on them, climb them, drive them, ride on them, as long as the specific way is visible. Any angle of a bridge is acceptable as are any signs. There’s no topic to this challenge. All you need have is the “way” visible and the main focus of your photo. To enter, simply add a link in your post to this post and leave a comment down below.
My way: Sculpture Garden, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco

When self returned from the Philippines, end of April, this rose was in bad shape. It looked like it was starving: sparse leaves, riddled with rust and blackspot. But, as dear blog readers can see, it has since made a full recovery!
After a spring of almost daily rain (I know, I know, I shouldn’t complain), I couldn’t waiiiit for warmer weather. It’s finally here! Here’s to: roses, sitting outside, blue skies, and jellies.
The Fan of . . . challenge is hosted by Jez.
Self decided that, for this prompt, she would look for actual lamps or ceiling fixtures.
Then she saw this picture: She snapped it in the parking lot of a movie theater in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Christmas Day, 2019: She’d just seen a movie with son and daughter-in-law (she forgets which movie).
She was entranced by the sky. There is a street light. And the lights of a car.
Here for the Mendocino Film Festival. Saw a documentary yesterday: Salvatore, Shoemaker of Dreams. Seeing another documentary this morning: Patrick and the Whale.
This afternoon, seeing a Nicole Holofcener movie (She is this year’s Rogue Wave honoree) and The Forger (German film).
Tonight: A Bunch of Amateurs, a British documentary about a small amateur filmmaking club struggling to survive.
Posting for Six Word Saturday.
