Roses on Beverly Common

Roses on Beverly Common

On a recent walk to Beverly Common, I saw that the rose bushes were in bloom, so I took some pictures.  There were lots and lots of roses in the park, and there were also lots and lots of roses in the original photograph. Tonight I cropped the best photo to get this image.  I was trying to focus on a few of the roses, and still convey the sense of an abundance of roses.  It isn't always easy to capture an experience in a photograph.  Sometimes showing a detail works better than trying to give an overview.  That seems to be true in this case.
