Description
We drove up to Bellingham on Tuesday and wandered around Zuanich Park for a while. A hilltop garden bed was absolutely covered in old-fashioned rose bushes, all gone to hips. I've never seen such a sight! Everything from deep, dark red to pale gold, with a few late blooms still giving proof to the variety.

Those are some amazingly voluptuous rose hips! I saw a few here in Chicago, but they weren't like these! Amazing! They almost look like some other sort of fruit, or maybe like the vividly-colored mating appendages. This is quite amazing.
Stunning capture Tara. God Bless.
Now you have done it Tara, I absolutely love my Rosehip tea, first thing in the morning and what beautiful healthy looking bunches these are ... nice catch, BB
well seen ; cool shot !
Such a great idea to show those masts in the background! Rosa rugosa thrives in a maritime environment and loves our cliffs in Bournemouth. My mind was racing for a moment when I misread the title as Bloomers amongst the hips: images of the Ladies changing room at the pool with just one pair of buttocks clothed in those Directoire knickers.
Very cool capture LOL at Andrea's comment
Very good capture Tara. I never seen this before. Well you learn something new every day.
All of those rosehips look so round and perfect! What a sight, and beautifully captured!
A really wonderful shot of very healthy Rose hips indeed. I hope you know how healty they are? You could make a wonderful jam out of it :)
Lots of fruits...Nice shot. Aloha
It is very well done by only you. 5+!!!
I have never seen the hips before. Nice capture.
Splendid shot! :)
We need to talk to Faye...maybe give up on the blackberries and go for picking rose hips;-) Lovely photo of almost the whole bush...
can you eat theses??? wonderful shot
Go back when they are nearly dry and pick some, take them home and start some roses from seed. It is difficult to do but it can be done and they will be just a lovely in a corner of your yard next year.
At first quick glance I thought these were apples. Its a lovely bloom if rather shy. I agree, the marina makes a great background.
Stunning pic I would go back and pick some like PJ said wish we had some of those around here love the pic and intense colors too Hugs Susan!
Amazing and poetic !
A lovely shot Tara, I love hips!!
Fantastic colors and details. Super shot, looks very beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful capture. You had great light that day.
A fascinating range of colors here. I never thought of these as being edible, but they sure are beautiful! I'll have to research these a little bit. A great shot, Tara!
