Made a quick run to Mill Creek Park to see if some of the roses are blooming yet - oh, you betcha! Couldn't stay long, but I still managed to get at least 100 photos (my macro lens, alas, I was sure died yesterday, so I just used my "regular" SLR lens and sometimes the macro mode). I was surprised at how many are blooming, clearly with more to come. Back home, I tried the macro lens once more, and voila - it seems to be working again! Well, guess that means another trip to the park soon.
