i had to take some pictures of the last of the summer flowers using my new macro lens. there was already frost once while i was away, but in the greenhouse, it only got down to 3 degrees, so the dahlias are still going strong.
i doubt the melons will really get a chance to be ripe before the real frost comes, even in the greenhouse, but they look pretty now anyway.
the hydrangea are finishing up, but i absolutely love them at every stage. they're wonderful!
the chocolate cosmos look so autumn-y:
the little japanese acer is a blaze of color:
and the rowan trees are loaded with their berries. i love to pick these clusters and make an autumn wreath for the door and this year it feels like i have the time and energy to do things like that again.
but first, a whole mess of these are going into the freezer so we can have an apple pie at thanksgiving:
i just love fall, don't you?

Here fresh green leaves and cherry blossoms makes me dance because it is spring.
I can't wait to hear more about your October happiness.
Fall is my most favourite time of the year.
You finally got a macro lens! Woo hooo! What did you get?
I LOVE THE FALL TOO. My favourite time of the year.
Your pictures are gorgeous the dahlias are well beautiful. I tried dahlias this year, but not much blooms.
I enjoyed walking through your garden with you. B
