Artists and Photographers Monday




Rosa Rugosa on Cape Ann MA


NOTE: Magical Monday Blog Meme is no longer due to life demands. Thank you all who supported it. Wishing you magical and fun blogging. Do enjoy our links today for Monday.

Today's post got wiped out and I had to do a completely new post late this evening. The photo above and below (black and white) is of Rosa Rugosa ~ a wild rose that is all over Cape Ann. Some folks here even make what I believe they call beach plum jelly from it. I have also included a haiku at the bottom of the page.

We are exploring creativity today with two very creative blogs:

Creative Everyday

Macro Monday

Do hope you enjoy the macro photos and haiku and check out the great creative blogs listed above.

    Well, if that Art Muse Dog is not just the cutest thing!

    I will have to look into "beach plum jelly" as it sounds delightful, but without the rose it would not likely be the same thing.

    Thanks for the haiku!

    Bises,
    Genie

    Lovely images of the rosa rugosa -- interesting how different it looks in black and white! Your post brought back so many memories..... I used to make beach plum jam many years ago when we lived on Cape Cod. Have a great week! Namaste, Gina

    Rose is so perfect, it almost looks artificial (but I know it's not)....

    I went back after commenting, and could not figure out how to post a link on your new blog-hop....by the way, the haiku echoes my day to day existence......

    The old rose colors--like this heartbreaking pink--have no rivals from the modern hybrids. Your photo really highlights the delicacy of this beauty.
