Tie-dyed Sky and other Autumn Images

As fall colors near their peak, there is much to enjoy about this season. Autumn tints - burnt orange, gold and bronze, maroon, purple and rose - mingle to create a landscape reminiscent of impressionistic masters. The air is cool, and working in the garden is a pleasure. There have been a lot of good "photo moments."

This unusual cloud formation caught my eye one day; I call it a 'tie-dyed sky."

Back on earth, here are some fall colors in my garden:

The fall colors of Eastern White Pine ( Pinus strobus) and a Japanese maple complement each other.

Common forsythia has wonderful fall colors

Chinese pistache tree is noted for its fall colors.

Fall fruits and berries, clockwise from top left: 'Tamopan' persimmon; Ilex cornuta 'Dwarf Burford'; Gourds and a little pumpkin, along with decorative cabbage and violas; Viburnum nudum berries.

This was an unexpected image caught late in the day, out of the blue sky:A falling rainbowI hope you are having a wonderful season, wherever you may be!   Deb
