Well...
I take that back...
how does your garden look right now,
as it prepares itself for the long cold winter?
Today was a wonderful bright, cool day.
So..
out the door I went..
camera in hand.
Here is what I saw.....
I love these two camellia bushes, a tender touch in an otherwise sparse growing season.
Even the buds are beautiful....they speak of hope...
I have always been drawn to Magnolia leaves too....great for decorating.
I know these are very dark, but I love them that way
this water fountain runs all year round and usually doesn't freeze.
Love the look of droplets....
Contorted leaves...
The last of the lantana blossoms...
Dog-earred hostas...
White pine needles...
And my very favorite, Japanese maple...
But, oh those camellias....
Even the sage is slowing down...
My porch swing needs another coat of paint...
And my ferns are being eaten by
who knows what...
How does your garden grow these days?
smiles....

Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I've taken care of all the gardening chores for the season, but then I find another one I've forgot. Today was cutting the foliage on the canna lilies and digging the roots so I can replant them next year. Now I think I'm REALLY done!
Oh what beauty you have found in your autumn garden! Mine is all weeds and seedpods... :)
ReplyDeleteThe juxtaposition of the bud and the dead leaf in the same post was cool.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite shots were the dead leaf and the pine cone. Earthy goodness and texture all rolled into one!
Most everything is slowing down...but the mandevilla keeps on keeping on!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful photographs!
ReplyDeleteWe are starting to have our first hard freezes of the season, so my garden doesn't look as lovely as yours!!

I'm amazed that you have camellias blooming now! But I went out today and found one of our rhodies putting out a few flowers – very strange. And your Japanese maple is so delicate – like a painting. Happy weekend! – g
