Coming Up Roses

Roses in Kennewick, Washington

This is the season for lovely roses to mature and brighten the landscape. Anyone who read yesterday’s post (https://eskildoodle.com/2024/08/27/burning-bush/) should be able to guess which photochemical is responsible for the roses’ lovely colors (Hint: It isn’t a carotenoid!). However, it doesn’t really matter; the purpose of this photo is to please the senses, not strain the brain.
