Perfect lighting Kathy. Thought at first view that you had used a so called 'fill-in flash', but the shadowed area's make this unlikely now. Perfect tones as well. You've provided us again with a very fine one!

Magnificent close up, I see a grasshopper on one of the blossoms and maybe even a small bee on the one on the right with his wings straight out. Beautiful colours and lighting

Kathy - It looks like a few friends are enjoying the blooms. The deep blue makes these tricky to photograph - you got a good one of them. Ours die back at this time of year, then have a resurgent growth in the fall until the hard frost. Thad
