Mr. Lincoln

This is the first effort by the wife to take a picture with my digital camera. Not bad for the first try but the P50 is a pretty easy camera once you figure out a few things.

This Mr. Lincoln is an older Hydrid Tea. It is one of the classic roses that still wins or places high in a lot of shows. Very fragrant too.

Another thing about this one is that it is one of the 10 roses we picked up from Wal Mart last fall for $5 a piece. I wasn't sure any of them would make it but at least eight of them are in the ground now and doing ok.
Quite a bargain when you think about it.

The reason she was moved to take this was one, it was our anniversary today and two, I have been coming home so late I have not been able to get a whole lot of decent pictures.

This morning she saw me trying to take a picture of this one with a flash before I left. All things considered it didn't come out badly.
