I enjoy flowers.  The colors can be so brilliant.

Here in Naperville autumn can come quickly.  With falling temperatures, seasonal flowers can look great one week and be browning the next...

Fortunately, my wife does a great job of keeping our garden up with beautiful seasonal flowers.  She and my daughter planted mums yesterday on our back deck.  Mums are hardy colorful flowers that can last until Thanksgiving here in the midwest.

After they planted, I decided to snap a few pictures.  Here are some of my favorites... 

 Purple Mum on my deck
-I thought these mums were beautiful...

White mums with a dark background
-I liked the contrast of the flowering white mums on the dark background (my golfbag).

-I think this picture is cool.  A young flower about to bloom.  Full of potential...

I love mum season!  The colors are gorgeous - if only they were as hardy as pansies!

Nice shots I love the colors of mums and they last a long time. I like to put them in between plants with big green leaves so that there colors really show up.

Hi Sharon, I, Nick, and Tina.  Thanks for stopping in.

Mums are cool.  Great way to enjoy the fall.

Beautiful deck?  Certainly not large.  Very efficient and colorful...

Thanks again,
