The morning after I took this photo, all of these lovely red trumpets were lying on the ground. Everything happens in its time, I suppose.

Short-live but captured at the perfect time. Lovely.

Very glad of your timing! Your photo is gorgeous; I love that rich deep red.

And "Reddy", ha ha, love it! Though I did expect to see a rose perhaps, whose petals somehow showed a portrait of Helen Reddy in the way Jesus appears on tortillas...

It seems to me our blooming days are short as I blogged today about my dancing days they too were short but full and happy. Now I have the memories.

Lately I know my commrnts seem crazy. My blortting out my wars of my being is not interesting but sometimes the negatives of life overwealm me.
Your bkog is one of those which swing me back to normality

The red of these trumpets is so delicious--and fleeting. I'd say we have to always keep our eyes open, yes?
Thanks for sharing the beauty.
