On the 22nd of each month Christina invites us to contribute to Garden Bloggers Foliage day. Although the flowers are usually the most stunning, it is the foliage that provides the backdrop to show them off to their best. Also, much of the foliage remains for 12 months of the year, so it is a very important part of our gardens.
I don’t manage to join in every month, but last week we had some very damp weather. The fog came down and stayed around for several days. This gave us the opportunity for some wonderful foliage photographs. It is not quite a stunning as a winter frost, but the little drops of water really showed off some of the leaves in the garden.
Please click on the gallery to view the images at their best and to see the captions.

My Aberdeen Garden 
Thank you for joining in this month with your lovely dewy images. The droplets of water look like diamonds on the leaves.
Thanks for hosting. I did enjoy taking the photos.
The spider web photo is really amazing; love the fall color you captured.
Thanks Charlie – it is amazing how the spider’s webs show up in the dewy weather or the frost. We tend to forget they are there all the time!
Great opportunities for photos Annette – and I remember those east coast haars when I was growing up in Edinburgh… days and days of fog
The haars are awful – you are in the middle of a beautiful sunny day and you see the grey starting on the horizon. Before you know it you are in the middle of it and you know full well that a few miles inland it is still a beautiful sunny day. Very frustrating. Not been so bad this year though all in all.
Beautiful pictures, you really captured the colors and shapes perfectly and the dew adds just the perfect touch. Wonderful!
Thank you. I enjoyed taking the photos.

Annette,
WOW!I think you’ve outdone yourself this time. That cobweb image would look fantastic with a white matte and black frame. Well done!
Thanks Patrick. The leaves all looked so much better with the dew on them. We are not very good at printing our photographs; we must make more effort.
I often feel damp days make the garden take on a different feel. Even the aroma on a wet day seems refreshing.
Lovely foliage pics Annette.
You are right – especially first thing in the morning.
Thanks.
