@martie: Hey Martie, it's amazing isn't it, that's why I called them little toughies, since they were still looking fresh at the end of fall :)

Janice Thomson from Courtenay BC, Canada
A wonderful shot mon amie. Love the drenched look. They must be covered now in snow...

@Janice Thomson: Gosh yes my dear friend, 2nd day of high winds and blowing snow and gosh, it's beautiful. I've always loved it even when I have to drive in it. But not now ;)
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Wow! Lorraine, your weather there, seems as strange as ours!, even after the snow and the frost last week there are still flowers flowering! The garden of the house 3 doors down from ours has the most glorious display of beautiful flowers in full bloom, (I would love to get a shot of their garden but they are a wierd couple to say the least) even some of the trees still have green leaves and are only just turning
These little Mums are beautiful, love the raindrops.

Very beautiful Lorraine! Beyond the scope of it being pretty much winter here, it's a gorgeous shot in and of itself (am I making any sense? I'm heavily medicated for my flu bug.. LOL)

Japanalia from Japan
Not only toughies, but also splendid flowers thr Garden chrysanthemums! They paint the gardens of autumn in the most fantastic hues!They are the flowers of people born in November and they are also known as toughies!!!Light is beautiful and - of course - the rain gives them an irresistible charm.

@Japanalia: Really Gabriela? What a lovely source of information you are, I did not know that! In fact I thought they were those pesky little yellow flowers that people seem to hate. Your comment is beautifully expressed I enjoyed reading it ;)
ps and really they are also known as toughies? and here I thought I made it up LOL
