LAST DAYS OF SUMMER

When summer gathers up her robes of glory,

And, like a dream, glides away.
~ Sarah Helen Whitman

Autumn has finally come to Northwest Florida. The wind has been howling out of the North for several days and with it has come the cooler, humidless days of Fall. The temps have dropped into the 40s at night and have struggled to reach 70 during the day. A welcome relief from the heat and humidity of summer. Though I am sure that soon we shall be complaining about the cold and wishing for summer's heat. I took a walk around my garden and snapped some of the last flowers standing.


Pretty Guara

The last of the white star hibiscus


A few brave blooms have survived the wind on the encore azalea bush.
