The colors of fall


As I mentioned in my earlier post  fall is a shot season. 
Here in Michigan we have been enjoying fall, Mother nature is putting on one of her greatest color shows of the year. 


The evenings have been cool and the days are warm, we have yet to see a hard frost, at least not in my parts, not yet.
The ornamental Cabbages and Kales are showing their colors


The planting in the photo above was a happy surprise.Who knew the colors in this potato vine would be picked up in the colors of this mum. Gardening is about happy surprises.


Pumpkins, and gourds are always a quick way to add some color to the fall garden. I'm planning to save the seeds  from these, I especially love the gnarly ones


And of course the trees. These are all just footsteps from my front door.



On the back porch, my fall plantings





These photo's don't even come close to the complex coloration of these red cabbages
The color is like a florescent bluish, purplish reddish greenish


Hopefully you can enjoy the colors of fall, it is a spectacular show albeit a short one.
This we like
