Last Wave of Summer Flowers

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A few flowers are still blooming in Dromana's Foreshore Reserve, Mornington Peninsula.
I especially love the grey and caramel textures of the tree trunk in the background highlighting the bursting art of the flower.

Stubborn spray of lilac tones
Bright melancholy
