It won't be long. We had a frost warning this morning and a beautiful afternoon. I'm sorry I'm behind here but I've been outside - paying attention to what is slipping away. These hardy little souls are still blooming like crazy. This little one is trying really hard to pop it's center. I love it. It just screams "sunshine" and "warm" to me.
I just noticed that I am half way there on this project! It is a good time to tell all of you what a wonderful community you are. Every day I look forward to what I am going to share. You have graciously shared you tips and yourselves and I appreciate that so very much. You have also taught me that every day is better with a camera in my hands.
Half way?! Well done! So glad to have you on board - you've made the ride better for us too :) This is lovely - so vibrant and cheerful, just what we need
Oh I see what you mean by popping it's inside! Those spots of black are new thingies developing! The color is supreme! I agree what you say about - every day!
A most beautiful shot, Cathy - lovely and soft, beautiful colors and tones. Our morning temps here in the sunny south were in the 40's - it felt great!
I just love blue and orange together, beautiful photo Cathy... yes, make the most of the last throes of summer, it won't be around for much longer. We've had wind, rain, cold and grey here in the UK today with areas up north being flooded :(
