This time of year the setting sun filters through the burning bush into the living room window and I ache to capture it, but I just can't:
Granted, I took that photo with my employer supplied Blackberry Torch (OMG it is so much fun to use!), but the photos I took earlier in the week with my real camera of all the birds loving the burning bush didn't turn out much better. Tonight I ventured outside to see if I could do better without the dirty window, bad indoor lighting, and limited angle. I think I did:
Well I think I got pretty close, but it's much more beautiful in person.
It's lovely! Beautiful colors!

The color contrast is gorgeous - what are the blue flowers?

Meemsnyc -- Thank you!
Mom -- They're actually white flowers and an aster of some sort. Here's a link to a page of CT wildflowers with a few different asters that it could be: http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/galleryw6.html.

The light of autumn is a challenge. I can just imagine the warmth radiating into your room.

Layanee -- It can be frustrating though because it looks so warm and lovely, but then is so chilly outside.
