Walking time: 98 minutes. Right on Stevens Way to left on 99th Drive,to right on Idleman Rd to left on Dundee Dr to its cul-de-sac in 58 minutes, turned around and back to right on Idleman to left on 99th Dr to left Stevens Way to house.

Brought out my 60mm f/2.8 macro and my Metz macro flash, and no straps or clamps on the camera body. Minimalism today. No way to pack up the camera. Had to hold it in my hand the whole time. But it was easy.

Took 131 photos of which 73 made the cut. Roses are out now, in fact many are already past their prime. It was 55° when I started out and cloudy, but started to get quite warm and sunny by the time I was done.
