Reminder: June is National Rose Month

Two days ago, June 12, was Red Rose Day and in belated honor of the occasion, I've posted an image  (directly above) of this flower (taken in bygone years) that was growing in my rooftop garden).

Red Rose Day is not the only homage given to roses during the month of June, the entire month is known as National Rose Month and since tomorrow the month of June will be halfway over, its about time that I remind readers of this fact.

According to web-page, "... on November 20, 1986 President Ronald Reagan signed a resolution making the rose the national floral emblem at a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden…"

Over the years I've had an array of roses growing in my rooftop garden, one variety is seen in the photo above this entry, three pictures of other varieties that I've grown, can be seen in the following pictures.

ORANGE ROSES ARE FEATURED IN VOLUME ONE 

YELLOW ROSES ARE FEATURED IN VOLUME ONE 

OTHER ROSES ARE FEATURED IN VOLUME ONE 

Red, orange and yellow roses are included in volume one of the Words In Our Beak book series and the white rose variety is featured in volume two.

VOLUMES ONE AND TWO

However, as you know, dear reader, June is not only the month for roses, it is the month when many graduate from various institutions, marry their significant other, and when many attend club meetings re their gardens. It is also the month when Father's Day is celebrated.

All of the aforementioned occasions (honoring the month of roses, graduations, weddings, garden club meetings, and Father's Day), are a nice time to give someone copies of the Words In Our Beak book series!

ADDENDUM FALL 2018: 

Hardcover versions of Volume One, Two and Three can be found wherever books are sold.

MY BOOK SERIES

Please click here to go to my blog post that provides details as to where you can get these books. Additionally, I have rendered some images from these books into other formats and they are available via Fine Art America (FAA). Some of my other photographs (Black & White CollectionKaleidoscopic Images and the famous Mandarin duck who visited NYC) can also be found on my FAA pages.
... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one. 

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2021:

When the third volume of the hard-cover version of Words In Our Beak was released, I withdrew from promoting my former versions of Words In Our Beak. 

The very first one is an iBook and went into Apple's book store in 2015.


This was followed by an ePub version...


... that is available on Amazon and was also published in 2015.

Subsequently, Words In Our Beak's digital versions were published as a soft-cover book (with slight variations) by MagCloud in 2017.


Its press release can be read by clicking here.  

Now with the release of BIRD TALES....


... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one.

As of this addendum, I do not intend to create digital or soft-cover versions of Words In Our Beak Volume Two or Words In Our Beak Volume Three.
