Floral Finalies

Summer is fading fast.  Tree leaves are starting to turn crimson and gold, preparing for their coming show of glorious autumn color.  Showers of acorns continue to rain down from the oak trees and chipmunks and squirrels are busy gathering them for their winter larders. Our summer flowers are vibrantly coming forth in final bursts of bloom and color.  Here is a sample of some of the last that I took photographs of today.
