Early morning sun filtering through the apple tree
The days of falling leaves are upon us. Storm 'Callum' passed through in the last couple of days, thankfully not causing the havoc here that Ireland, Wales and the West of Scotland have received, but even so, starting to 'take down' the fabric that clothes the trees and garden and spread it on the ground (and UP! in the air…and back down onto the ground again!)
So before it is too 'disrobed', here is a photo essay capturing the beauty-in-decay of the garden here at Autumn cottage in this second week of October, 2018.
Birch leaves falling and settling in a corner
The rest of the birch leaves...
The last of the beans...and vine...and pumpkins
My peaceful arbour by the herb garden pond
A sad time each year - packing away (but only until next Spring!)
Another carpet of leaves - already withered and brown - from the Whitebeam
The flaming Spirea
Sophia by the Summerhouse pond
Acer & Rogersia
Vitis 'Brandt'
The Cottage Garden pond
Waterlily & Hazel leaves ....goodbye, until next year. Thank you for your loveliness.
The same here in eastern US. We went from having August type heat in October to late November like chill now. I am trying to get potted tropicals inside. Thanks for the lovely walk through your garden. Love the blue pots!
