the dawn of an older age

i'm not even believing that these flowers in my garden are still blooming this late in the season.

mother nature impresses me.
human nature interests me.

and although mother and human have the same last name, i am not so sure they are related.
could it be that human is mother's unruly child?

at any rate, to me they are both fascinating.
different from one another, but both resilient.

always entertaining, and i am constantly surprised by them both.
