Stop and smell the roses

I don't often post people photos. For some reason I am not yet comfortable asking permission to take a snap. Although most people who know me would be even more surprised to see my own face on a blog - I am a bit camera shy myself. The two might be related...

Anyway, this is in the Rose Garden in Central Park. I stand 6 feet 3 inches (190.5cm) tall and this rose is taller than I am! My lovely wife took the photo for me.
