Summer is gone

We have been having some much overdue rain over the last week, so with summer seeming to be properly over I thought I'd share a few photos of the purple flower extravaganza we had a few weeks ago around the garden.

Especially with some of the shots being from the bush in the back that I hacked down a little bit - did you doubt it would return?

See what a good pruning can do

Thanks for the macro lens, Dad

And Janice's latest flower arrangement in the big blue pots grew very well this time!
