Late Season Marigold
I wish it weren’t ‘late’ for everything floral these days, but the seasons are progressing relentlessly and so any recent photos will inevitably be late. It won’t be too long until I go back into my archives and bring you some ‘mid’ and ‘early’ ones to get us through the winter. On the other hand, these late ones have a lovely rich quality and I do not want to miss any of them before they are finally finished. I am again bathed in golden sunshine, though it’s cold outside. But at least we have no snow yet, as I was reminded by my photos that this time last year there was already a dusting. I can wait for that, although it is lovely to see. Have a lovely day, whatever the season. View all posts on the Home page. A Flower a Day #423

It may be late in the day for this marigold, but look at the intensity with which it blazes, having captured the sun’s rays all summer long. May I glow as fervently when my time comes. “Do not go gentle into at that good night”. I’m with Dylan Thomas and this marigold on that one. Thank you, Ellie, for a golden day.
It is truly going out with a bang! (or at least a bright flare, as you pointed out). I hope we can both glow fervently as long as we glow, but then I wish for us a kind and gentle departure, at least. 🙂 Thanks Janet.
It is a lovely bright flower. Love the curly petals and the thickness of the flower. Although it makes it a little more difficult to zoom in on the centre. It is a beautiful bright spot on a bit of an overcast day. Hope for more sun this afternoon. Hope you have a great day hugs to you and Steve. Thanks again for the little pick me up.
Looks like you got your wish for sunshine, Linda. I hope my flower had something to do with that (though I have my doubts). I’ll see what I can do to give you more zooming into centres, though perhaps not for a day or so. Thanks again, Linda.
