Your photo is so beautiful. I should stop and enjoy the moment more often and take a photo to remember.

I used to be really good at taking pictures every day until I had my second child and life got so crazy. I’ve been trying to make more of an effort to slow down lately, though!

It would depend on the rosebush and its location. Some rosebushes naturally have a short period of bloom, and will only flower for a few weeks per year. This is true of species roses and of many older varieties. If you are in a cold climate, roses will go dormant for the winter and will stop blooming during the fall. If it is a modern hybrid and has stopped blooming, it may need more fertilizer or water to give it another burst of bloom before the fall season.

Kristen, I just love that photo of the leaves on the tree. Here in North Carolina we are having exceptional foliage reminding us of Upstate New York and New England in October. This is the first time in the 19 years of living in Raleigh that there has been such intensity and beauty – brings tears to my eyes, even more so that I no longer have a camera with which to take pictures. My Minolta Autocord is too heavy to carry and I just have never gotten the hang of digital cameras. Fortunately I do have pictures going back almost 50 years and they do bring a lot of joy. Just in case, my best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful Thanksgiving. All the best.

Compelling post! “Be here now.” In the present moment is even more important as we tumble into the holiday season. Thank you for the lovely reminder.

I love moments like that, when you just stop because it feels like the right or moment thing to do. I have been doing that alot lately, maybe because of the beautiful colors of fall. Or because its good to stop and ‘smell the roses’ when our busy lives don’t allot us time.

Wonderful post and a great shot. If you were late for your Farmers and Ranchers Association meeting you could have just shown them what you had to stop and take a picture of and they would have understood.
