Fiery Flower Friday

I don't like these days of light fading so very early..... I've been out for the best part of the day - a friend turned 77 so celebrations were in order. A very pleasant long lunch was enjoyed out in the country; by the time I got back home it was getting dark so I hurriedly went out for a stroll with my pocket camera. Amazed that so many of the wild flowers are still flowering including this. I also saw blackberry flowers alongside their fruit! Nature has got totally out of sync.  Anyway, as it is fiery friday I added a few  fire brush strokes for the challenge.
Steps almost done and emergency blip done!
