to take in the beauty…transitions are taking place. I am not, just yet, letting go of the Summer’s fest of roses in the garden.

Late Summer blooms…

on this lovely Clematis. It gave a showing in the Spring and has offered up a few more buds this September. I like this as I have a few too many Spring only bloomers. This particular plant is quite old, having been long neglected by my dear, departed Aunt.
