Rose garden at Pt. Defiance

2008.07.06
Entrance to the rose garden...I love how all the trees look and then a riot of color at the bottom...

You stand under these roses and feel like you have entered another world. Smells heavenly too. Almost intoxicating with the smell of all these roses and begonias...

Looking through the rose branches...at more gardens.


I kept hoping to see a fairy flying around a few of these roses...LOL

1 lonely little flower on the ground...all by itself...

These roses are a big as a dinner plate.






Yellow rose of Texas? So beautiful.

I love this rose bush! It had every possible color of corals, and pinks and salmon and yellows and even fushia on 1 bush...

I love pinks too. And this had every color of pinks on it.

A lady started throwing bread at the raccoon to draw it closer to us, he loved it!

2 raccoons coming out of the woods, if you got to close, they would growl at you, but isnt the face of the one in the back so cute?

this one came out of the woods, just looking around. (this looks like it came from a Walt Disney movie, and you expect to see the gnomes coming out of the woods anytime.)

Puget sound water along Ruston Way, where it goes between alot of islands all through the Pacific Northwest up into Canada.

My husband took me to the rose garden today and it was so beautiful. A riot of color everywhere, and the smell intoxicating... I was in my element and loved it.
We saw some raccoons on the way home and had to take some shots of them....then I got a shot of Puget sound water.

veganess When I took my photography class way back when, we had our field trip to that very garden. It was summer, and it was all in bloom, it was great!

MHJphotos Jomie! These are beautiful cuz!

That is one of the most beautiful places around here, especially now and in the fall. You need to get Kevie to take you back there in early Octobor. The hydrangeas are still in bloom and the maples just "sing" with color. Its absolutely stunning. It would make another beautiful post from you! hint ... hint!
