Fall Flowers and Falling Leaves

Call me silly, but I just love the Alaskan flag and it's even more impressive flapping in the wind with the American flag above it.
Backyard leaves
Looking out toward the road, you'll note that I have a nice supply of leaves down.
Turning off Holiday onto Lone Cub, not a bad view, huh?

Something tells me you knew I'd find the flowers still left....

I think I need one of these! Just the coolest looking flower.
Needless to say, I even managed to find a bee to take a photo of today.
