A friend gave me a rooted cutting of this tropical Angels Trumpet plant a year and a half ago and how it’s almost as tall as I am. And this summer it bloomed! At night the whole house has its sweet perfume wafting through it.

We had a windstorm yesterday, so these maple leaves from a few days ago have probably blown off the old tree in my neighbor’s yard. A photo captures their incandescent color for us anyway.

I had to get up before dawn yesterday (ugh!) but was so rewarded by the clouds and colors on Mt. Rainier at the viewpoint near my house. What a lucky weather event in this fog, clouds and rain we’ve been having.

I feel such frustration when the light is good and I can’t go outside and find something glorious in it to photograph. But sometimes gray light has its compensations. This maple tree was in a parking lot.

Fall color comes to some maple leaves

The leaves are so beautiful now. Even when I can’t take the time to drive around and find scenic vistas like I’d like to, just a quick stroll around the neighborhood shows such brilliance at this time of year.

Seattle has had a highly unusual weather situation. It’s been foggy for a week! This is what the view from my yard looked like yesterday.

This dew-jeweled spider web was so pretty the other morning. I appreciated the scenic red bush behind it.

Not too many flowers blooming around the neighborhood right now, so I’m posting an image for our Southern hemisphere friends: cherry blossoms from the opposite season, from a tree close to my old house in Des Moines, WA.

Went outside and even though the weather was cloudy, the colors of the leaves are fabulous. I love the autumn colors so much. I also love this post and am calling it my Best Post of the Week.
