Roses on Piney BranchSnapped these pictures the other day whilst out walking about the neighborhood. The first three are various roses in the yards of three random, unknown homes--two on Piney Branch NW and one on 8th Street NW. The last photo of purple variegated flowers were in front of the home with red roses. I have no idea what they are--nasturtium perhaps?--but I thought they were pretty.
Peachy beauties also on Piney Branch. Three little pugs came bounding off the porch to have a bark at me!
Little miniature roses on the edge of a yard that is,sorry to say, an absolute eyesore.
I don't know what these are, but I thought they were prettyBy the way... Can you believe May is over already? What happened?!

I was wondering the same 5 minutes ago wheh visiting a fellow blogger and actually realizing it's June already! when?! anyways, let's just enjoy it! happy weekend!
Lara: Time just goes by so quickly as I get older. It's really disconcerting. But, I'm determined to enjoy June regardless of how quickly it passes! Hope you enjoy it, too!
Now THAT is a flower fix! But, where are the pugs???
Maya: I know! And me, a sucker for dogs, no less! I should have taken a picture of the pugs, but I was disconcerted by the fact that the homeowner was sitting on the porch and I didn't notice him until after I'd taken the picture. I was so embarrassed, I just moved right along.
Time does seem to flash by more and more. Good to see you stopped to, uh, smell the roses. 8^)
Those last ones look like something in the mallow family. There's a fairly hardy one called Rose of Sharon that might fit.
USElaine: If I'm not tip-toeing through the tulips, I'm taking time to smell the roses! :-) Thanks for the help with the last bunch of flowers. As I said, I have no clue what they are. Of course, I suppose I could watch for the homeowner to be outside and then ask, right? Hm.
