Not too far away from our house there is a street called"Traverse des Roses de Mai" which inspired me to do an olive tree blog of one of our own "Roses de Mai" in front of one of our olive trees. My original idea was to simply open the window and take the photo but even with a telephoto lens and other compsenations it didn't work (sun and random other plants being to blame) so I bestirred myself and went outside to take the same rose but in the direction of a different olive tree sans sun and distracting greenery. As always click on the image to see it enlarged and don't forget to visit of the olive tree blogging archives for further reminders of how nice olive trees are.
