We’ve had a nice little run of sunny days here in Swansea recently, but things are still definitely starting to feel a bit more autumnal with a little nip in the air.
So when we decided to walk through Singleton park on our way up to my in-laws’ house yesterday I thought it would be a great chance to take a few photos of the gorgeous flowers in bloom there before they disappear for the year.
And I wasn’t disappointed.
The gardens were still a riot of colour in the bright September sunshine.
Of all the photos I took, I think this might just be my favourite.
Shot from below with a bright blown out sky as a backdrop.
I’m just in love with the colour of this flower, although my botany skills aren’t up to scratch so I don’t know what kind of flower it is.
Anyone out there know?
Looks like a Dahlia to me. You can always rely on them to be rather dramatic! #DivaFlowers #MySundayPhoto

It’s lovely isn’t it, such a vibrant pink! x
It’s nice to take time to appreciate the small things and really stop to view the flowers, even as summer turns to autumn.
It really is isn’t it, it’s too easy otherwise to let it all just pass us by! x
What a beautiful picture. The detail is fab
