DavidinOz has sent us photos from the Renmark Rose Festival and Oh My but they’re gorgeous. Filled with light and colour they’re a real burst of happy on these cold and dim November days. We’ll be featuring David’s photos over the next couple of weeks as a tonic to help fight winter gloom. Spring roses from Down Under, what luxury!
There are roses in this set, but the main feature is the Harry Clark fountain commemorating the 1956 floods. The main fountain structures represent wine glasses as this is a major wine growing region.
It was quite breezy that morning, so the water plays well. You can see the Murray River in the background.

Oo, lovely sunshine! I’m in a better mood because it snowed -- and it is anticipated that it will stay on the ground for a little while, which is just what is needed in this dark time of the year. It’s a lovely crisp -5 or so (not as great as -20, but just right for the end of November). Some sunny roses on top of that, though, is even better!
