I love autumn for its colours — some subtle, others spectacular, always fleeting.
Two kinds of purple asters (names unknown to me) in the front garden
A favourite scene in the back garden
Cotinus “Royal Purple” in fall colours — much better than its summer purple!
Cotinus leaves often develop these artistic-looking patterns as they change colour
A lone bloom on Gentian acaulis — rare blue colour in the autumn garden
A windstorm last week blew most of the leaves off the maples. Raking awaits!
And the Change Agent?

The garden won’t be the same…
