The arctic winter temperatures traveled south earlier and colder than usual this year. While many of us were scrambling to keep safe, warm and dry, our miniature rose breathed a sigh of relief and blossomed nicely.

I like the idea of Macro Monday photos. I don’t have a macro lens, so I rely on closeups instead. Somehow “Closeup Monday” just doesn’t have the same effect. Maybe “Monday Up Close.” Kinda liking that one.
It's a long story ...
