Monday Photo Shoot ~ Peaceful Place
“I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses.”
~C. Austin Miles
This week on the Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot the subject is “Peaceful Place.” For me besides just being at home, one of my favorite peaceful places is a rose garden. Not my own, as I don’t have one though I’ve thought about how lovely it would be to have one in my own front yard and then I think about all the work it takes and decide to just enjoy the ones I can go visit. There are many beautiful rose gardens in the North Texas area. It is so peaceful to sit on a bench among the fragrant roses listening to the gentle breezes and thinking about….nothing.
These rose garden photos were taken last April at The Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. Today is February 1st. That means that in a few months I can visit rose gardens again! Until then enjoy these photos from a peaceful rose garden…
Here’s hoping you find your peaceful place today, even if it’s only in photographs! Be sure to visit the Ellipsis blog to find links to more “Peaceful Place” photos.
Hi Sandy
Goodness, roses in winter, what a nice thought. Sometimes my roses bloom this time of year, but it’s just been too cold and rainy lately. I am really looking forward to spring this year. Yes, a rose garden is a very peaceful place… ahhh… yes.

beautiful roses! I love the lyric from the old Hymn “In the Garden”. My favorite place I can’t get to anymore. The only way there was by horseback or 4 wheeler. It’s a cliff overlooking the Brazos River on private property about 5 miles east of Palo Pinto. I had the privilege of riding there many times over the years. the view was breath taking!
I would love to spend time there too with my camera.
how beautiful. I so love the Botanical Gardens in Ft. Worth and am so ready for the spring season.
Gorgeous photos, that first one is just BEAUTIFUL! Certainly Frame Worthy!! I’d love to sit in a rose garden, and think of nothing….what a lovely thought!!!
Such lovely roses, especially the first picture! I would enjoy smelling roses in the spring and summer. I am reminded that I need to prune mine. I am thinking my landscaper may do that for me — he’s kind of new so I’m not sure. I have just 4 rose plants and they have produced some pretty blooms over time.
