Second Look--October 19, 2011

This week during a Second Look, I focused on the few flowers that are still blooming. Most of these kinds you've seen before; however, you are going to see a few of the late bloomers among them. Also, even though big pots of mums have been in the stores for weeks, this is the first week of them blooming in my yard.  I also found the pleasant surprise of a few violets peaking through the grass and leaves. They bloom primarily in the spring.

Here's what I saw.
