A very different view this morning from my previous few frosty/misty mornings.
Colourful leaves by the pond.
Impressive buds on the rhododendron tree by the arch
Fragile papery hops
Heavy bunches of grapes are dragging the vines lower and lower on the trees they're scrambling over.
I was surprised to see brightly coloured nasturtiums still flowering.
Vibrant orange and pink
There are more leaves underneath the little acer than on the branches now.
From the other side - leaves draped across surrounding plants.
The tree with the unreadable label (I must try and take a rubbing of the label, it might be more legible as a rubbing) Gorgeous colours.
Another little acer - such a bright splash of colour against all that green.
Rich colours even on a dull day
Heading along the leaf covered path towards my favourite acers
Just look at those colours! (I lingered here for quite a while.)
Dragging myself away from the acers, I was very surprised to see camellias!
The breeze picked up and leaves tumbled down all around me
Leaves flying in the air. (Sky very grey today)
Gorgeous Autumn tapestry of colours.
An assortment of leaves on a bench - as they have fallen.
That little acer again
The breeze picked up a swirl of leaves that danced above the grass and then settled down again.
Nests visible now the leaves have fallen. I wonder who lived here.
Delicate little pink flowers.
Spindleberries.
Are these crab apples?
Colourful leaves behind the sundial.
Thorny stems under that wonderful colour.
Pokeweed (rotten name for a beautiful plant!) also known as inkberry, pigeon berry and pokeberry. Those berries have gone through amazing changes - now all hanging straight down and many of them are beginning to shrivel up.
Tiny flowers, still colourful
Seed pods
Starry seed pods
Raindrops on euphorbia
Thank you very much for joining me
I meant to stop by and look at these before bed but forgot. What a colourful treat to wake up to! Well done on not getting wet, it seemed to be damp if not raining all day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen. Glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteDelicious looking grapes there, but I wonder if they are! In our climate they may not be very sweet, but they look good. I've had some nasturtiums flowering late in my garden too, Lots of leaves, but no flowers until a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteThe grapes aren't very sweet - they are nice - but have quite big pips.
