JUST-BEFORE-FALL SEA LAVENDER

this is from late last week, a few days before the official start of fall - today!

how quickly the sea lavender turned to this...a couple of weeks ago this was a purple flowering plant, and now definitely past, but still colorful!  i did not fully appreciate the intensity of all this color until i was processing this.  my eye was drawn to the angle of the light, the way it comes from the side and gives depth and shape and substance to the front.  and slightly overcast and diffuse :)

and i'm still addicted to shallow depth of field...i think my lens aperture is frozen wide open!
