Sunshine is a rare thing here in January.  Yesterday was a lovely warm sunny day, with the added gift of a spectacular winter sunset.  We took a walk to Garry Point to enjoy the view, sharing it with a flock of overwintering snowgeese.

I love the small yellowish hips of Rockin' Robin shrub rose.

Hips on Work of Art miniature rose look like tiny apples. Lots of new growth even though it's only mid-January!

Bonica produces masses of hips.

Always stingy with the hips, Blanc Double de Coubert produced a single fat hip this fall.
