2019 was a tough year. I had a series of health problems, which impacted my output of work for the entire year. One thing I did manage to do on a regular basis, however, was to take lots of photos of flowers, roses for the most part, whenever I had the chance. Below is sampling of the beautiful roses and flowers I photographed both on the University of Arizona and campus and at Reid Park’s Rose Garden, one for every month of the year.
