Summer memories will linger, and summer will return. Meanwhile you have all the spectacular seasonal changes to enjoy. There is much beauty to find there.

That's hollyhocks? I didn't know until reading into the comments. See how much do I know! They are beautiful and delicate as your image has captured. Love the colors.
I remember fall, it was refreshing with the change, and I loved wearing sweaters.
Memories, thanks Lorraine.

J'irais même jusqu'à dire que cette compo a un petit coté printanier... j'ai plutôt envie de revenir arrière que d'aller de l'avant en ce qui concerne les saisons actuellement... :-)

Such a beautiful flower and what a lovely splash of color against the cement wall. It is almost that time to say goodbye to our beautiful gardens. We have had heavy rain for a day and it sure flattens things.
