a look back at summer's flowers

Flowers may be a cliche subject matter, but I can't resist.
They have an allure that draws me in and practically forces me to photograph them. 
I love their delicacy most. They come and go so quickly.
Perhaps that is why I like to capture them with my camera-- a chance to keep them forever.

Here are a few of my favorite flower photographs from this summer.
