The rain came to cool us down, and most importantly, diminish the blazing forest fire. Summer finally stepped down. While the floral colors are going away, the foliage fall colors are showing up. I have not photographed much of the flowers this year, just to grab the last bit of colors.
I bought a small bouquet for a birthday party, but these common mums turn out to be the only flower I like. While I am ‘dreaming it away’ by blurring the background, her subtle tint of colors looks charming for my taste.
My desktop computer is back to the shop. The newly installed larger hard drive is proved to be a defective one. We pay a premium for quality, but branded products do not seem to hold on to their names anymore.

A “Monet” moment by the looks of it. Lovely!
