autumn blooms

Man, my allergies are just killing me. Or I have a cold. I can't determine which, but since I have a crazy busy weekend (two concerts and a wedding! fun!) I'm gonna go with allergies because I can't fathom being actually sick right now. But despite the sore throat, I am loving this change of seasons. I noticed this new bloom on one of my front porch succulents today, and I thought I should capture it before everything dies off for the year. Lovely, no?
