I had to save this one in my flowers folder. It was a toss up though..it could have easily fit into the fall folder, but at any rate, no matter where it is it's a beauty.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Excellent shot - Colours vibrant and clear, and flowers are always great subject in my book. I especially like the lattice fence in the background, reminiscent of those wonderful summer days definitively gone 'til next year.
