Last Bloom

Had a lovely day at Stowe today - lots of splashing in muddy puddles and kicking Autumn leaves. And the girls had a nice walk too!!!
I took loads of lovely photos of the gorgeous coloured trees, reflections on the lakes etc but these flowers caught my eye.
I love the fact that surrounded by falling leaves, dead and decaying vegetation these little flowers are hanging on - losing their petals and being eaten but still reaching for the sun and looking so cheerful.
There's a lesson for us all there!
