Flowers keep blooming in my region until after Halloween. It stays warmer longer down the shore, where I took these photos, about a month ago. I took pictures of people's private gardens from the sidewalk, and also at public parks.
Wildwood doesn't really have very good landscaping. I went to Ocean City, New Jersey last summer because I had to go to the bank to make a cash deposit, and I noticed that the landscaping up there is so much better. I should've brought my camera that day, but I didn't. I'll have to go back there next summer properly prepared for a big photo shoot.
