Caught this last rose of Summer just before the sky began to darken with thick tropical clouds loaded with water.
Note the ground? Yes, thats sand. 100% NJ white sugar sand, darkened by water here. It is hard to grow anything but beachy plants here. I stick to climbing beach roses usually and Pampas grass etc. You can see the wild strawberry creeping along on the ground too. I have tons of it.
The sky darkened and now we are in the midst of a pretty loud thunder storm with heavy tropical- like rain falling. It gathered up very quickly. Isn't the sky beautiful though?
I am happy to be inside with a nice hot cup of coffee watching the action from my chair.Hope your day is bright and sunny.
I love the pictures. Even the storm clouds look somehow beautiful.
ReplyDeletenow i know where the beach roses in your pictures come from
ReplyDeleteThank you lo!
ReplyDeleteKnish, that is a regular rose.
The beach roses climb on my house and on the sukkah. But this rose is scraggly , though the flower came out nicely.
I need to fertilize it like crazy and compost too.
I use top soil etc. but, it fades quickly here in the sand. So.. fish emulsion here I come!
Hi Annie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :) I love the picture of your rose. That is one flower that I don't really grow. Our neighbors have a few bushes that invade our driveway a little bit, but that's about it.
Our sky has been looking like that a lot lately too. It rained all night long and didn't stop until this afternoon. I love the rain, so no complaints here.
I am glad that you enjoyed the bay photo website. I had loads of fun messing around with it. Have a wonderful rest of the week :)

Hi Annie! Sorry to leave everyone hanging about the vacuum! :) It's back in one piece and no longer thumping but still not picking up like it should. Lovely rose and cloud photos. Are you right on the ocean? (((Hugz)))
