Glad I ran across your blog. You definitely have a knack for photography.
Troutbirder - another history guy who takes time to smell the roses.:)
Thank you! I'm not the greatest photographer around, but sometimes I get some good pictures.
Great photos - is that mauve flower a kind of chrysantheum? cheers, catmint
catmint - looking at it again, I think it's something in the Centaurea genus - the thistles. The flowers look thistle-like, and although I'm sure that plant didn't have spines, some of the species in that genus don't have them. Thank you for the comment - I wish I was in the same season as you at this time of year!
