Ivy turns the most gorgeous autumn shade of red. This wall not too far from my house has a good display.

I posted a similar photo a number of years ago but you don’t mind seeing it again, do you? This columnar apple tree was in my backyard in a pot.

At the Renton (WA) Fall Harvest Festival on Saturday, I was surprised to see these bouquets of dahlias that included intensely fragrant lilies. The ones in my garden have long been finished. I bought some and the entire house is filled with their scent.

Someone brought these cutie cupcakes to a great party on Saturday. And it looks like someone sampled the pretty red icing, too!

I did not go outside in the pouring rain here in Seattle today, but I had this image from last year taken in my rose garden around this date. Stay safe and dry, everyone!

Coupeville is one of the oldest towns in Washington, I am told. We were here last year at this time. Don’t you just love the starry diamonds on the water?

Those of us who love to photograph beautiful things in nature are blessed to have farmer’s markets in town. I can’t decide whether the nectarines with the speckles or the solid colors taste best. Guess I’ll just have to get both.

The local Garden Club has a flower show every three months and recently had this beauty on display. My roses are almost done for the season, but this one is still so beautiful.
