Fall Garden Photos The Fall Garden In All Its Glory A Moment in Time

Crape Myrtle Sioux

I just gazed out into my garden on this autumn day and had to share the spectacular array of color that was before me. This is certainly one of the most beautiful fall displays we have had in a long time here in the Northeast. It is about to rain so the lighting is just right. I had to run out with my camera in a timely fashion before the weather took a turn for the worse. It was one of those rare Canon moments that I could not resist and would probably not be able to capture again. The Crape Myrtle Sioux is magnificent standing in all its fall glory displaying hues of orange to red and the grasses are displaying their showy plumes and golden color. The flower caps on the Sedum Brilliant are now a fiery orange-red and the heuchera are showing off a brilliant burgundy glow. A blend of oranges, reds and gold playfully dance in the wind as displayed by Spirea Gold Flame. Then onto the Coral Bark Maple that glows like golden rays of sunshine and this specimen will soon show off its spectacular fiery red bark in winter. The Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar and Golden Oriental Spruce now against the oranges and gold of fall are absolutely vibrant. This is just a brief moment captured in time that will change again tomorrow and the next day and the next until this show is over and winter sets in. Then the gentle flakes of snow will settle on the garden and bring forth even more to gaze at in awe. A garden really is forever changing and can be enjoyed throughout every season of the year. There is always something new to encounter and this fall display is a real crowd pleaser. Enjoy the photos!
