What a pleasant surprise! Just when I thought my dahlia plant was done blooming for the season… one more beautiful blossom! Good thing I didn’t dig out the tubers too soon!

Beautiful orange hosta leaves with some golden maple leaves
spotted with raindrops.

Looks like the last of the hydrangeas are fading & browning on the bush. Perfect for another natural Texture Tuesday!

#texturetuesday

Intrigued by the gradation of golden brown leaves fading inward to fresh emerald green centers! It seems like they usually just go brown… but not this time!

Fun colors & textures… once green leaves changing to beautiful reds on the Burning Bush… and a warm golden yellow on the Solomon’s Seal. Always fun to see my front yard garden change colors though the seasons.

Unfortunately… the next season is snow!!!

Beautiful ivy climbing the wall showing off its Fall colors…
nicely contrasted with the white trellis.

Summer is definitely over… Fall is here… and the leaves are already falling! I don’t mind Fall, I kind of enjoy the autumnal colors & the cooler weather. But I would like it to last a lot longer before the cold Winter weather settles in!

A tiny harvest of red crab apples fallen from the tree.
Fall colors after the rain.

A little pop of Fall color on the bushes…
as the leaves are just starting to change colors!

A nice frilly fern for another natural TEXTURE TUESDAY.
