Surprise! September Dahlias

I know I'm getting into fall mode, but look what I saw this morning near my house! I actually saw them in my car and I went straight home for my camera and backtracked so I could share them with you all today.

I tell the Noodle all the time that nature provides the most perfect color combinations you could ever imagine. Look at the gradation of colors there! It absolutely stopped me in my tracks. Is this not exactly what I'm trying to achieve in my bedroom improvement project? (Why yes, it is!)

I hope this weekend you all see some splendid color combinations out there wherever you live.
