Autumn Morning
I started out this morning intending to just take a few photos of the Persicaria bloomss that were just being hit by the right type of morning light...
...but I ended up snapping photos for about 30 minutes. There was so much to discover on this crisp autumn morning!
Do I need to say anything about any of these? I'll start with the Persicaria and go from there...
I wondered if planting my 'Golden Arrow' so close to my 'Painters Palette' seedlings was the right move, but I love how the blooms interact!
Those red/pinks led my eye to the castor bean planted so late in the season, and just about eye level (as opposed to 10' tall):
The flowers are like a miniature Christmas tree complete with bows! (except the tree is the wrong color)
From there I just let the sun backlight everything...
...and now I'll just freeform and mix it all up. Enjoy!
I restrained myself -- only five bamboo shots and four of papyrus.
Hope you're enjoying autumn mornings in the garden as much as I am!

Beautiful! I'm enjoying your crisp fall morning vicariously. Here in Davis, CA the thermostat is permanently stuck on summer. I'm so over it!
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.....you are one talented photographer, Alan.
Gerhard: I'll trade with you in about 2 or 3 months. :)
Tamara: Thank you! Glad you like them.
My congratulations Alan, I love your photos! It's really very beautiful!
Gorgeous autumn light and photos, Alan. Autumn mornings are such a mellow golden time.
Hi Alexander! Thank you!
Peter: Thanks! It would be more mellow if I didn't have a list of chores to complete before the first frost... :)
