Autumn Color

 "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower"  by Albert Camus is one of my favorite fall quotes, and so very true in the case of many trees, shrubs, and even perennials. I grabbed my little camera and walked around my yard snapping photos of fall color. I even found a few flowers still blooming, including hydrangea flowers long past their prime but still looking lovely. Had a hard time choosing between photos, so there are many. What is your favorite plant for fall color?

Beautiful photos! I love the Hydrangeas and how they change colour in the fall. So much to see and so many lovely trees right now.

You have wonderful fall things in your garden. I am jealous and need to start thinking what to add that would make my garden better next fall!

Great photo shoot. That pathway you got there is a work of art. It reminds of of the beach.
