Took this photo of my red chard before the recent freeze. I’m afraid to go out there and see what’s left of it..

Red chard shows off its jewel colors in my garden earlier this week

Linking with Our World Tuesday, Outdoor Wednesday, Ruby Tuesday 2, NF Catching the Light Monday, Straight out of the Camera Sunday, My Romantic Home, and Saturday Show Off. Don’t forget to try a new category (see sidebar at right) or tag while you are here. Vegetables/Fruits, perhaps? Thanks!

Well it’s snowing hard outside, so winter is truly here, calendar notwithstanding. But here’s one more look at the glorious colors of autumn, taken just a week or two ago. Aren’t those red stems great? I like them so much I’m calling this my Best Post of the Week.

Visit Macro Monday and Mellow Yellow Monday if you’d like more close ups and more cheerful splashes of yellow, and Blue Monday for more blue shades. Ruby Tuesday has more exciting reds. Color Carnival is always a fun browse, too. Taking a look at other straight-out-of-the-camera shots is fun. And if there is only one photo here, be sure to click on Sara’s Fave Photos to see the rest of ’em.
