Hip Roses?

Aren't they beautiful?

It's the end of July,
but these have an Autumn
ambience, to me.

Of course, I had to play

with the photo. :)
I used to gnaw on the
rose hips around the house,
when I was quite young.
My mother actually
harvested them and
added to our Winter diet,
for vitamin C.

Well, I guess I didn't publish
this!  I thought I did.  That
was several days ago.
