There are thousands of light pink lilac blooms in this picture. the bushes are nearly covered in pink with very little green visible. The flowers take up the lower 70% of the picture with one prominent green branch sticking up from the bottom near the center of the picture. at the end of this leafy branch are several clusters of flowers. Behind the flower bushes are several trees that are out of focus. A majority of the picture is in a light shade with a majority of the lit surfaces coming from the left of the picture.

A picture of a wall of pink roses that trail to the left. The roses sit along a fenced sidewalk. The sidewalk is visible in the bottom left portion of the picture and disappears in the distance about 2/3 of the way up the picture. The wall of flowers sits on bright green leaves. They have a deep hue but are visible. The flowers are varying shades of pink. The flowers are on almost every part of the picture and bunches in small bouquets on the bush. A small bunch of bright pink roses. The roses are in a vaguely heart shape. The flowers sit prominently in the center of the picture with some green leaves surrounding the blooms. A picture of a single pink rose. Inside the rose is a big bumblebee. The bee is sitting in the direct center of the flower having folded a few petals to get there. Behind the flower are spiky green leaves that are out of focus. A picture of a large bush in bloom. The bush has bloomed with pink roses. The roses are roughly 40% of the visible bush. The roses are pointed in all different directions. The sky is a lightly clouded bright blue.

I'm slow on the output this #foliagefriday. So I'll start with a BANG! An update to the #HmongTownMarket #Chinarose #blooming. The #Bumblebees are Loving it!. #nature #photography #naturephotography #flower #flowers #pink #bloom #blossom
A picture of several large blooming flower bushes. The bushes stretch from the bottom to the top of the photograph. The flower bushes make a deep indent near the top of the picture. Behind them is a shingled building. The flowers cover a majority of the bushes and are blooming in bright pink clusters. The clusters vary in size from one or two flowers to up to 10-12. A portrait of some pink roses. There are a few roses at the bottom of the picture that are in focus as well as shaded. The further up we go the less in focus the picture is. There is a large cluster of blooms in the middle on the left side and a very out of focus branch reaching past the top of the picture. A cluster of bright pink roses. The rose bunch is set just left of center blooming from the left edge approximately 70% of the picture. The remaining portion is another blooming cluster of roses further back. They are a bit out of focus. A very close up picture of a bumblebee climbing along the stamen of a flower. The flower petals are a bright pink which contrasts with the yellow and black of the bee. Except for a small portion in the bottom right, the whole picture is inside the flower.
