We had such a beautiful day yesterday and even after the hard freezes we've had there were still some flowers growing. It was such a contrast with the fallen leaves.

Lovely shot! The flowers hold on as long as they can, don't they. We have some that are still hanging in there even after several hard frosts and snow on the ground.

Beautiful! The bright flower colors make a great contrast with the leaves and tree trunk.

Perfect title and perfect clarity in this lovely composition. So sad to see these sweet little things must go - but I'm so glad to see the tough ones hanging in there.

Such a neat combination of nature - such is all of life! You've done a wonderful job on the technicalities, Hilda, and I really enjoy the symbolism here!

It's all about perspective and perception.

Aren't you the lucky one to have the dried autumn leaves fall on those beautiful flowers and create a wonderful contrast to their delicate colors? Your eye for composition is, as always, exceptional, and I love the way you've caught these at an angle as they seem to hug the bottom of the tree trunk behind them. The slanting angle of the sunlight throws this all into deep shadows that make the picture come alive. Yes, Ma'am...in my faves :)PJ

You're going to have to do a lot of raking. Very pretty mums and they do contrast nicely with the fallen leaves.
