One of the last flowers in my garden. It is a prolific little thing and, for the life of me, I cannot recall its name at the moment. Tried a new type of processing on this one...

You captured the purple nicely. For some reason purple is not always easy to photograph. Lovely.

Great presentation and processing gary. We seem to be in the last of the flowering state here too. I'm not sure what I will shoot during the winter.
