#RoseWednesday #FlowerReport: Some scenes from Monday, in the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden.
A photo of a pink and white candy-striped rose. A photo of a walkway with a rustic overhang of thick wooden beams, flanked by posts with bare vines snaking up on the outside. Rose bushes are beyond, with trees and a large blue fountain framed in the center.
A photo of a bush of several pink roses leading into a scene beyond that is filled with white roses in a garden setting that leads far off into a horizon of houses with tall evergreen trees on the right and more, including palm trees, further away under a light blue sky. Near the center of the picture, in the garden, is the blue water fountain, tiny by comparison.

#MacroMonday #FlowerReport: In San Jose, California, this morning. The center of the flower is about a half inch wide, which means the bug on the florets on the left is very, very small.
A macro close-up photo of a flower, whose center is closed orange florets, with petals that are yellow. There is a relatively large greenish plant bug with folded wings that is on the petals near the florets. On some other petals and near the center of the florets are two tiny insects about a fifth the size of the plant bug, which is less than a quarter inch long. So, reeeally tiny.

The "Cameraphone" was a revolutionary portable wooden gramophone manufactured in the 1920s, mostly coming out of Germany and Great Britain. Designed to look precisely like a folding box camera of the era, it was the 1920s equivalent of a portable music player. IG: @popmania.es

#FlowerReport #SundayStunday: In San Jose, California, this morning.
A three frame photo collage: On the left is a tall photo of a plant with long pointed green and yellow fronds reaching outward. Rising from this is a light green stalk of thin branches covered in white flower bulbs looking downward. Beyond is a background filled with red and yellow lantana flowers, and a few rocks and dark spaces. All are illuminated by the early morning sun. The square frame at the top right is a close-up of the bulbs and lantana behind them. The lower right frame has a view of one of the bulbs from below, showing six white projections inside in a hexagon shape, and three more in the middle, with petals that are pointy and have faint pink center lines on the outside. A blue sky is above them, with a few bulbs and green buds as well.
