Autumn blooms.

Four of these seven foot tall perennials greet visitors here, their blooms arriving with cooler autumnal days.

Nikon D700, 200mm f/4 Q Nikkor at f/5.6. Forget about fancy zooms and AF and OIS and aspherical elements – when it comes to a perfect, simple, unbreakable four element fixed focal length lens set in a gorgeous all metal, engraved mount, the 200mm Nikkor is an all time classic, and it’s hard to spend more than $30 on a good used one. Balance on a FF DSLR Nikon body is perfect. The image is SOOC.
