Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Of course....blackeye Susan! A delightful summer feeling......not at all the mugginess we live with everday here, in Japan. We've just had an earthquacke before 8PM! My stomack flew in my throat and I howled like stricken by a nightmare! I can never get used to these things!

@Japanalia: Oh yes I can see how that would be freaky, never had to live through one, hope you never have to live through another! thanks Gabriela :)
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
Oh, my goodness. I just read Gabriela's comment and I've forgotten what I was going to say about your 'Susans'.
They do love August and some are already working on reseeding themselves for next year.

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
The moment the black eyed susan's start to appear you know the summer is coming to that point of maybe either heating up for the next month or cooling down in anticipation of the fall. This is lovely...picture perfect august.

Barbara from Florida, United States
What a lovely title for a cheerful gathering of flowers. Have you noticed many things beautiful are female names.
A very pleasing image Lorraine.

marianne from Toulouse, France
ohhhhhhhh ton titre me fait penser à cette sublime chanson
"Suzanne t'emmène
écouter les sirènes
elle te prend par la main
pour passer une nuit sans fin ..."
j'ai l'air dans la tête !!! (Léonard Cohen ) merci pour cela !!!
L'Auguste blanc, et l'aster au milieu des petits soleils, je craque !!!
kisses Lorraine !

@marianne: lol je me rappelle de la chanson, en anglais par exemple, tu sais si mon père n'avait jamais été transferé à Ottawa de Montréal pour un poste de gestionnaire, je serais probablement toujours à Montréal, et je ferais tout en français au lieu d'en anglais, mais je t'avoue que je suis tombée en amour avec la langue anglaise lol
j'avais 5 ans je crois... lol

Lesley from Lincoln, United States
I love these cheerful summer flowers. I just wish the rabbits in our backyard didn't love them quite so much. They have eaten all I had. Next year I'll plant bunches in pots. Maybe they won't be able to reach the stems!!
Great shot, by the way, Lorraine! And thanks for visiting my book blog. :)

@Lesley: thanks so much and my pleasure Les, you might not have many Susans, but hey you could take photos of rabbits, I'd love to take photos of rabbits...always greener on the other side ;)
