Late Summer Rose

Summer is unofficially over now that Labor Day has passed, though actual autumn is still weeks away. The roses on the east side of the State Capitol are looking a little dull as their season passes, but there are still some beautiful blooms and buds left.

The Last Rose

This is probably one of the last roses I'll see this year (not counting the cut ones in florist shops). Autumn has arrived, the weather is quickly turning cold and gloomy. But a few roses are still in bloom in the little park on the east side of the Capitol and the bee in the photo above is obviously making the most of the final few roses of the season.
