Default they won't be around much longer

I am sure that many of you are sick of flowers but they won't be around much longer...at least around here. We'll have our Australian and New Zealand friends keep our pictures warm when we enter cold dreary times. These were taken at an apartment complex where I dropped off my daughter to do a cleaning job for an elderly lady. Most complexes have flower beds so I took the camera along...just in case.....

Beautiful shots, so colorful and pretty. Guess we'd better remember these, you are right my friend, summer is rapidly coming to an end.

I love Summer, then Spring, then Fall, then Winter...unless I am snow skiing, then winter's ok

I love the rose, it just pops. I can see it with selective coloring...black and white background and then just the rose in color! Great shots.

No, they'll soon be gone, so time to see as much as we can before we have to say goodbye. Nice series.

Nice find patrick, and a great job. Like the water drops. What little summer we have had, is about over.
