In Decline, But Still Beautiful.....

My roses are in decline, but I still find them beautiful for Flower Friday! In the extras , I have put a shot of our beautiful daughter who turned 35 yesterday.  When she was growing up, we would celebrate her birthday by painting pumpkins because it was safer and easier and the pumpkins lasted longer than carved ones.  Now that she is older, her in-laws invite the family over for pizza or hamburgers and afterwards, those who want to, carve pumpkins..... Thanks to Biker Bear for hosting....
