Photography Now & Then #121
Photographs of roses have long been a challenge. More often than not, there is so much color saturation that the detail of the inner petals is lost. In this photo, the color is less red than the original rose, but, using an in-camera filter, I was able to get better detail than normal.

We’ve camped at Mesa Verde National Park at least four times over the years. The last two times, 2009 and 2015, we actually camped in the same camp site. With stunted trees on the door side of the camper, this site afforded a little more privacy than many others did. That being said, even with other campers in adjacent site, this campground has never seemed crowded. We would not hesitate to use it again should our travels ever take us back to Mesa Verde.
