Back-lit back

I believe I'm right in saying that this is a Cosmos flower. It was one of the flower photos I managed to get at Reader Rock Garden yesterday, a very windy day : ) The background is a garden bench, which I couldn't avoid. The flower season is rapidly winding down here. (Just can't concentrate on anything today. My daughter in Vancouver let me know, and has sent articles, about a body that was found yesterday at the east end of Fish Creek Park, in Calgary. Article said it is being treated as a homicide. This is one of my local haunts and I know so many people who go walking there. Won't be able to focus until I hear more detailed information. Even then, it will not be a good feeling to be down in that area, or anywhere else, at least for a while!
