Fall Inspired

There are so many nice fall posts to peruse right now.

For instance Andrea at I Garden Daily, Tatyana at My Secret Garden and Grace at Gardening with Grace.

So I thought, "What the heck, I'll jump on that bandwagon."

I thought I was going to wreck the car trying to get a good look at the gorgeous color on the oak trees lining Park Center Boulevard this morning. Perhaps it would be better to stick to my own back yard.

Our dogwood tree is looking its fall best right now;









In the front garden the birch tree is putting on a show;






And to accompany the birch's color the miscanthus grass seedheads are floating;





Our sweetgum trees are just starting to turn color;




I thought there wouldn't be anything blooming since all the frosts we've had but these common calendulas just won't stop;



And every year these fall crocus bloom so late I think they're done for, but here they are again;



This Sheffield Mum looks as if it was frozen mid-bloom;



And finally here's Jessie following me through the front garden. This is the best photo I could get of him;




If fall hasn't already turned to winter where you live I hope you're enjoying the colors.
