Set 1 of
Photographs of Erika's Summer Roses
Bob Jensen at
Trinity University
I cover Erika's domestic roses in mulch and burlap during the winter months
Then they, along with the peonies and impatiens, come to life in the long days
of summer up here
Note the climbing roses on the arbor
Note the honey bee who probably appreciates the nectar rather than the
surrounding beauty
Here are two Erika brought into the house
She loves roses whereas I love impatiens for the sun
Japanese beetles never seem to bother the Inpatiens or wild roses
But it's a daily World War II to save the domestic roses
A yellow rose of Texas in the mountains of New Hampshire
This was taken in a year when I planted more alysum and yellow bidens
surrounding a rose bush
Early morning shot with dew on the petals
Here's a picture taken by professional photographer Wes Lavin who often returns
up here for his fine pictures
Here's the woman who grows the roses beside our cottage and the guy who pulls
weeds
It's so hard to keep up with the neighbors in this Tacoma block

Question
Are their trails in our White Mountains of New Hampshire that have ice in summer
as well as winter?

Okay, you might ask, is there really ice in the Ice Gulch, even in August? Yes, there is! The next photo shows one small patch of ice. There were many larger patches, but they were at the bottom of some of those deep gaps that I mentioned above. I took some photos, but none of them really turned out, even with using a flash to illuminate these dark, dank, deep spots.

On May 14,
2006 I retired from
Trinity University after a long and
wonderful career as an accounting professor in four universities. I was
generously granted "Emeritus" status by the Trustees of Trinity University. My
wife and I now live in a cottage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire ---
