Graceful Transition

We still have warm, sunny and peaceful afternoons here in Northeast Ohio but nevertheless, the summer *is* coming to a close.

These Queen Anne's Lace flowers peaked in the middle of the summer and are now closed up and brittle but I like how they maintain their dignity as they stand tall under the autumn skies...

Nature's Ballerinas

Softly, delicately, floating in the wind....

Tender Embrace

The Woman Inside

Along with Lilacs, another favorite spring flower of mine is Lily of the Valley.

It seems that the smaller the flower is (the more dainty and delicate it is) the more I am attracted to it.

Now, you must know, I am *not* a dainty and delicate woman!

Hmmmm, must be something about my alter-ego... :)
