Marigolds!

How about that. I know the name of at least one flower. These Marigolds grow in a garden down the street from our house. It is fun to have Fall arrive, and suddenly there are these brilliant bursts of color here and there. I took a lot of different views of this scene, some more subtle than others. But I think that the first one, which is probably the most dramatic, trumps some of the more subtle ones that I took. I think I will post two different ones, and you can tell me which shot you like best. My favorite is the one on top of the page. The second photograph is more "layered" and more subtle, I think.
