Autumn Blooms

As if desperately holding on to the last strands of summer, these blooms and berries are on its last week before the frost forecast later this week.

Autumn is my favorite time of year partly because of the vibrant oranges, reds, and golds. It's funny that these lively colors are a result of the lack of chlorophyll, what we associate with life.
