The images presented in these galleries are reductions of photos taken by Valerie with a Pentax Optio 450 digital camera. The compression has been increased to 80% (100%=no compression) and the dimensions reduced in order to save bandwidth and facilitate page loading. The information below each image gives the size in pixels and kilobytes of the original file as well as the title by which to request the larger version. All of the original files are in jpeg format, most at about 95% compression, and are suitable for printing, desktop wallpaper, or detailed study. While the images here are free for the taking (right click - save as; do not link to these images directly), the larger versions are also available by sending a request to Valerie via . The frames around the gallery photos are not part of the same file and are only for presentation on this site.

Although the photos are free to use, they are copyrighted by LARVALBUG and remain the property of the owners of this site. We request that any public use of these images be accompanied by a credit to LARVALBUG.COM and, when appropriate, a link to our site (<a href="http://www.larvalbug.com/">LARVALBUG</a>). Commercial use of the large files can be arranged for a modest fee.

Roses: Genus Rosa. Although I usually include commentary with the photos, I'm afraid that I know very little about roses, especially when it comes to the myriad varieties and hybrids. Our gardens contain only a few roses, which do not thrive due to lack of care. I am lucky that other gardens provide roses for the public to enjoy. The majority of these photos were taken at Zilker Gardens in Austin, Texas. Their rose garden is particulary well-maintained. What information I do have about roses is available in larvalbug's garden. The photos in these galleries are not an organized catalog of roses or a comprehensive study, but more a celebration of the sheer beauty of the blossoms.
