Faded Beauty.....


As the seasons are transitioning the most showy flowers are now fading.  Some coneflowers just dry up and turn black but this one is fading slowly.






In the very same area as the above faded bloom is this new bloom.  It hasn't been open for very long as it is a late bloomer. It is a small one that has stronger color than the camera pick up of it.

I have enjoyed your coneflowers this year. We have a young lady friend who will start college next year who is interested in photography. She and her mom are coming for tea soon and John and I are going to share your wonderful blog pics with her. She and her mom have recently visited King Univ. in Bristol TN, which has an excellent photography program.
