1.Cool nights mean Autumn colour. There’s a definite fall feel to the garden now. The angle of the sun has changed. There are longer shadows. There are seeds and dried flowers about, apples and pears on the ground. No more blackberries here. Ornamental grasses are strutting their stuff. Just look at the Hydrangeas!

  1. You always make us happy with your show of clematis … the last picture against the light is superb! I also enjoyed seeing the 2 hydrangeas. Mine are faded now and patiently wait for winter …

  2. Love that last photo. Your clematis are all still going strong, it seems. Must look wonderful in the garden. Princess Kate . . . just wow. I love all the textures you create w/the grasses & seed pods, varying blossom, & that oak leaf hydrangea. I keep lusting after that one. Maybe next year.
