Autumn color

I have a few photos that I really like out of the bunch that I shot in my garden a few days ago. The rain had stopped and the flowers still had drops on them, but the light was very good. This is the only one I have ready just now. I did not photoshopping on this at all. I love how it looks like a water color. I imagine I can even see brush strokes in it, with the darker outline on petals and leaves where it might have been sketched before painting.

This is one of the 2 sunflower seeds that I planted, that grew.. decorative sunflowers. My annual seed planting was not a blooming success.

I made the apple pie today and still have enough apples left for two or three pies. It turned out pretty good, with very flaky pastry.
