This tree with some yellow leaves and some still green can’t seem to make up its mind. Fall is here!

The weather in Seattle is supposed to get seriously rainy, after some very fine fall weather. The only thing to do is go out and cut all the open roses for bouquets, because they’ll only get destroyed. Bonus image below of the bouquets!

Cut the open roses in my garden ahead of the rain coming

And here are the bouquets they made, on my kitchen counter.

Garden roses smell so heavenly. These bouquets will go throughout the house.

In Seattle, it’s remarkable how close to the calendar the turn of the season feels. This week begins Fall, and sure enough, the trees are coloring up quite nicely.

The Cloisters in upper Manhattan is an extraordinary and beautiful place. Here is a view on a perfect fall day from open arched windows. See a few posts below for more Cloisters images.

The Cloisters museum and gardens, the branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, is in New York City. I was lucky enough to visit on a perfectly still and warm November afternoon. This area is a garden devoted to medicinal plants and herbs used in medieval times.

The Pacific Northwest has many evergreens but also enough deciduous trees for a beautiful fall season. This was across from my house.
