Fall Flowers

We've haven't been on the ranch long enough for me to decide if this new color is seasonal, or due to the wonderful rainstorm we had a few weekends back. Either way, we are enjoying some beautiful new blossoms around here!

I noticed these beauties while I was watering last week. They just came out of no where! I'm not sure what they are, but they are a beautiful yellow - and they are thick!
These beauties are right near the sidewalk to the front door. They are breathtaking! So numerous, it looks like a giant purple piece of fabric draped across our bushes
So pretty!
I just thought the sky was particularly blue and pretty this day
You know who else loves moisture and mud?
