This weeks Theme is GROSS

You do realize that the word Gross is french for Large don’t you? Ok well, now that we’ve established that I have a very gross Love and Peace rose bloom for you:

macro love and peace

Does anyone else grow Love and Peace?

It’s a blooming machine! Each bloom grows in size to about 4″ in diameter. My hybrid tea Love and Peach is going into it’s 5th year in my garden this year, and it’s been reaching heights of 5 feet or more the last two years. It always has at least 10 blooms if not 40, from June well into October or even November.

The roses start out kind of pinkish and then they become multi-colored- like what’s that theater production “Joseph’s amazing dream coat”? I find it to be a very loud rose – kind of gawdy in some ways, but between it’s performance in my garden and it’s amazing colours I don’t think I could live without one now.

Be thankful I chose this picture this week – I almost gave you guys a photo of earthworms mating! Now that would have truly been gross!

There are a lot of Canada Geese here in Toronto.

One of the best places to see them, and feed them if you’d like to is down in the Beach area. Ashbridges bay has boat docks and a nice little park with paths that wander along the shore line and you can see ducks, and geese and even the occasional swan in that area year round. Of course you have to be careful where you walk because geese uhm … poop a lot. I believe I heard a report that they go every 2 minutes!

This site isn’t official part of the Saturday Photo scavenger Hunt but I’ll applying to have this site added today. I may not be able to fit the theme in every week if it really doesn’t fit this blog but we’ll see how it goes. I should have done this earlier.
