So to celebrate LGBTQ Pride, take in Blondie’s Deborah Harry dueting with the self-described “fat, feminist lesbian from Arkansas” Beth Ditto: Speaking of pride, June is not only rose blooming season but also Pride Month. Channelling his best inner Edwardian, Ed wryly noted that the weddings were coming none too soon for these particular brides-to-be:Īfter the break, last year’s “A Rose By Any Other Song Would Sound As Sweet”, followed by even more splendiforous pictures from this year.Ī ROSE BY ANY OTHER SONG WOULD SOUND AS SWEET

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden in general and its Rose Garden especially are popular with brides-to-be taking their pre-wedding photos. It wouldn’t be a visit to the botanic garden without the obligatory “Ed sniffs a flower” picture, as my Facebook Friends have already learned to expect from us with seasonal regularly. So I will post these wrapped around a repost of “A Rose By Any Other Song Would Sound As Sweet”. This year’s return visit to the rose garden at peak bloom yielded even more spectacular flower pics. Last year’s visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden Rose Garden resulted in a post all about “Rose” songs illustrated with rose pictures. And June is the time it bursts in massive, colorful bloom every year. But we can visit one together just up the road.
