Cosmos

I had a walk in the Botanic Garden today in what is to me was a perfect day - not too warm and not too sunny. The main blip was taken looking down but I 'blacked out' the background as it was very close and busy and I couldn't read the display to see what F-stop I was using on the live view screen in the bright light. Cosmos seem to be thriving here at the moment. The extra shows autumn crocuses (croci?). It would have helped if I could have knelt down to get a better shot but I would have damaged nearby plants.
