Beaming In The Evening

This 'Bright Lights' Cosmo is beaming in the evening sunshine. These Cosmos are definitely one of my favorite annual seeds to plant every spring and there's a reason why they are called 'Bright Lights'. They add so much life to the garden this time of year with their tall airy stems that are loaded with buds and blooms. They beacon in shades of orange, gold and tangerine. Which it's difficult to tell from this photo, I know. I liked this photo in soft black & white though because it was almost a little too bright taken in the low evening sunlight. But I will, without a doubt, be posting more colorful photos of these Cosmos in the future. 

Here's a bright and lively one from last year.
