Wildflower Season Keeps on Going

Earlier I wrote that the wildflower season was coming to an end. To my surprise, it just keeps on going. The September rains were very beneficial and the result is I get to enjoy the flowers for a fews weeks more.

Here  are some wildflower photographs from later September through mid October.
