Day 268 - Surprise guests in our garden

These two lovely little guys have made a surprise appearance among the weeds in what used to be a rock garden in our front lawn. Surprise for many reasons but mostly because it's all weeds there right now and it's now late September. Much too late for flowers to pop up.

This is another example of a low-light photograph that should haven't turned out but, thanks to the miracle that is iPhoto, really looks great. I just did the best I could on-site and then trusted the computer program to improve the exposure. Thankfully, it did a great job and the picture looks really good. The flowers might not last much longer with these cold nights but at least I've got them preserved in this photo.
