when you forget to look






i admit i wanted fall i counted the days. last week i complained about the heat, begged the fall to come and stay....but while doing all this i forgot to look in the garden at all the foliage and blooms i had admired all summer long. ignored left to die while still living-yes perhaps i am overly dramatic about this whole thing but i rather think passionate!

I thing the flowers take on a different quality in the fall - instead of riotous abundance, there is a different kind of decadence, like those old master still-lifes of the decaying fruit. You can sense the edge of mortality.

Gorgeous shots, as always :)

yes, Stephnie said it so well, through flowers you can sense the edge of mortality, love them when the summer is leaving.

Simply beautiful. I have no flowers left in my garden, but am enjoying all the wildflowers that pop up roadside at this time of year.
