The weather is starting to exhibit some Fall characteristics and I thought it would be a good time to post some of these shots of flowers that I had saved from this summer that I liked a lot. The first one I call “frilly-flowers” because that’s what they look like and I have no idea what their real name is. Maybe you could help me out there? They were growing in a flower bed alongside someones home near Fall Creek Place on the cities near north side. I have found out that I have a thing for photographing flowers. Just something about their simple perfection and intricacy that I am drawn to.
The next shot is of some Hollyhocks of course. Again I took the liberty of helping myself to a photo of someones 
garden display. I was walking back to my car from the Talbot Street Art Fair earlier this summer. They had a huge garden area near the corner of their yard by the sidewalk that was teaming with hundreds of Hollyhocks and other flowers. Hollyhocks are very tall and slender and so I’m missing about 2/3 of this one in the shot, but I liked the close-up of the bloom.
The last shot of the pink rose was taken in the garden of the home of President Benjamin Harrison. There is a small but beautiful rose garden on the north side of the home. Just something about roses that are special. It’s amazing to me though of how many different varieties there are. Whites, reds and everything in-between.
