high gloss...

...in spite of the weather

the snow came and went... as it does around here - we get a taste and then just as quickly - it's gone...

but it left in its wake - colder night time temperatures that i thought for sure would leave flowers shuddering... not the case with this little beauty... it's got a high gloss sheen that only seems to have been enhanced... it's not droopy - nor wilty - or hanging in shame.

it's perky and alive and full of autumn color... as if taunting the weather to do what it might - it will continue to stand proud and tall regardless...

ahhhh... the glory of nature - undaunted... providing yet another

happy day.....
