Default Didn't have to go far

I still have some lantana in bloom right in my front yard. I thought I might take a shot or two before they go dormant for the fall.

Pretty shots. They fit right into the whole fall feeling.

Nice sharp focus and great creamy background. A fitting tribute to its soon passing.

Mike, These are so pretty. I love Lantana. I imagine they grow everywhere in Las Vegas similar to how they grow here in Tucson. I'll miss them, too. Such a bright sunny orange! Bye...see you next Spring!

Why do people in Arizona Nevada grow Lantana and Myoporum? Because no much else will grow L.o.l
Very nice captures. I used to baby my lantana when I lived in Arizona,
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Thanks, Michael. My wife likes Lantana because they will grow anywhere and are really hardy and drought tolerant.
