Hagerstown City Park, Roses, and Photoshop

After I wrote about not having taken any pictures for a while, I decided to visit Hagerstown's City Park and take some.  I walked around the Hager House and then around the lake some.  On my way back to my car, I walked through the garden behind the museum and took some pictures of the roses there.  I played with photoshop and tried a couple cool effects...at least I think they're cool.

Workers lowering the flags to half staff in observance of September 11th - Patriot's Day (edit:  what I just found out is that white block on the right side is where a piece of World Trade Center steel beam was installed and this is the Washington County Emergency Services Tribute Garden - I had no idea.  I will have to return to have a look.)
