Roses are a huge fave of mine, Krasi, so you cannot add too many rose photos for my enjoyment.

That stork taking off shot was cool and funny too.

How lovely the Lilac blossoms are.

I once read that the ancient Roman’s used Thyme as a tea to enhance their strength in battle. So you are all set!

From your photos, the country side is beautiful. In noticed in the one shot, the soil looks very red. Is there a lot of clay in the soil?
