Now, these pictures could have waited until Outdoor Wednesday, but I was anxious to show you their beauty. lol :-)) Good blogger that I am, I quickly went in and got my camera to take a few shots of this late beauty.
The intensity of the color is incredible.
It almost appears as if I've staged these two blooms, but this is the way they were laying.
Mother Nature at it's best.
If the early frost doesn't hit , we might be fortunate to have a few more blooms this season.
Standing at attention.
I see we have a visitor joining us.
My ever faithful "outside" companion Murphy followed me step by step as I took these shots. 
It's very cold and cloudy here today, I hope this brought a bit of sunshine your way. Don't forget to swing back by for yet another update to the give away basket. I can hardly believe it's almost here.. Can't wait to reveal "all" of the goodies to you. :-))
