Close-ups

I've had so much fun with my Canon camera lately. I love the digital macro focus. These pictures are from Huntington Gardens today. Don't the roses almost look like they're made of tissue paper?

I'm amazed at the huge variety of roses...all colors, sizes, and shapes. I'm drawn to the ones that are very full and look almost like a peony. Someday I hope to have a little rose garden in a yard of our own.
