War of the Roses

[RSO 34]

Somehow TonyD managed to get down to the botanical gardens on a day I wasn't there and grabbed the early shots. I tried to accept his challenge by heading down on Saturday on a "perfect" day for shooting which was early rain and then overcast. Unfortunately by the time I got there there was hazy sun so not the ideal conditions but I had to at least try to keep up with Tony so here you go (until we meet again in the rain)............

My completely "unbiased" opinion is that Bob kicked Tony's butt!!!!

TonyD keeps posting great shots so it's time to pick up that gauntlet he has tossed my way and add a few more of my own...........

I got lucky. Tony got there before me and was so worried about bags finding out how much he spent on his macro lens that he sweated all over the roses......

I love this kind of warfare! Beautiful pics. :wink:

I was going to post pictures of the poppies in my garden. But on second thought, I got worrried about certain unamed NSX drivers sneaking into my garden at night for some harvesting. :biggrin:
