This is quite a handle for a cute little ground cover plant with flat green leaves and bright red berries!
The berries – which may last all winter – have recently changed colour and are adding another lovely colour dimension to our autumn palette.
Although they don’t look much like them, this plant is actually part of the rose family. I think those bight berries might be part of the family resemblance, however.
Happy Friday.
The autumn reds are beginning to come into their own. During a break between rain showers, I stopped to take a few pictures of this arresting tribute to the season’s beauty.
This “winged euonymus” or “burning bush” is turning a brilliant colour.
This particular bush was of interest to me since about four or five days ago, it hadn’t started to change at all.
It won’t be long before it is entirely afire and likely causes others to stop and admire, a good thing in our busy world.
Happy Thursday.
Happy Wednesday.
We are starting to hit the heights of our autumn colours; such a beautiful time of year.
Glorious autumn chrysanthemums bring visual joy.
A honey locust tree backed by an incredibly blue sky is a beautiful sight. The pods of the honey locust are sweet and edible, but are best before they turn brown.
The red and yellow ash trees are hitting their optical stride.
Happy Tuesday.
In Canada, it’s Thanksgiving. There is much for which to be thankful.
I hope you have a happy one. 🎃
These red and yellow European ash trees provide a sharp visual counterpoint to the fantastic autumnal blue sky.
Tall and imposing, they are presently at the height of their colour.
These dramatic leaves won’t be around for long, but I plan to enjoy them as much as possible!
Happy Sunday.
There are many lovely symbols and rituals associated with autumn, but all of them are bittersweet, implying as they do the death of the season and the impending colder months.
Big bins of honey crisp apples, cool and crunchy; the last of summer in their sweetness.
Restless swathes of leaves, swirling and settling, settling and swirling.
Green with yellow highlights becomes a lovely and familiar sight.
Happy Friday; happy Thanksgiving weekend. 🦃
Autumn is here with its colour and drifting coolness and many of the trees are beginning to change.
Some quickly turn yellow all at once while others hold off; they hang on to their green finery as long as they can.
Others turn an impressive red.
The orangey-yellowish-red ones look very showy in the sun.
Whatever your colour preferences, it’s a very pretty interval as we enjoy this precious time before winter’s arrival.
Happy Thursday.
The autumn fashions are beginning to arrive.
They are still a bit muted, but are coming along.
It’s amazing how the colours suddenly started to appear about three days ago.
Happy Saturday; happy autumn. 🍂
