Autumn Flowers

 

Happy Pink Saturday 

Those few pale Autumn flowers,


How beautiful they are!


Than all that went before,


Than all the Summer store,


How lovelier far!


Pale flowers! perishing flowers!


I woo your gentle breath--


I leave the Summer rose


For younger, blither brows;


Tell me of change and death.

I wish I had some flowers like yours. The Texas heat has about wiped mine out.

Love the zinnias! One of my all time favorite summer lowers. Beautiful pics!

The pictures are lovely - but at least here in Germany, autumn flowers are anything but pale, quite the contrary :-) We have rich yellows and oranges and reds and browns and golds on the chrysanthemums and many others, I love this time of the year!
