Changing Seasons

After neglecting things around the house for the past few weeks, I took advantage of the wonderful weather to go outside and survey my surroundings. 

The trees once that once provided shade have lost their greenery leaving a full view of the sky.

Those same leaves that once filled the trees have turned brown and now make haphazard designs on the ground.

The flowers that once provided such beautiful colors struggle to find the warmth of the sun despite a visit from Jack Frost.

All the signs point to the fact that winter is indeed on its way.  And then I found this.

One almost perfect gerber daisy.  Despite the fact that these particular flowers have not bloomed in my backyard since May, this little darlin' decided to share its color one more time before saying goodbye.
