A Kiss Before Dying...
A Kiss Before Dying...

----
The last Canna blossom, delicate and undersized, bends to give a “good night kiss” to her offspring (seed pods) in the Autumn of her demise.
---
Photographed at Sayen Gardens in Hamilton Square, New Jersey in October. I have not gone to check on the Gardens since Sandy's devastating blow.

  Lovely shot Michelle and the way you put it so eloquently, a little bit sad, even if it is just a flower.
