Late summer/Autumn
The afternoon sun sets these grasses aglow.
Dogwood – the last leaves
Euphorbia black flowers
Winter Jasmine
Beautiful seedheads of Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’
Fuscia Snowcap. This was moved in the Spring and now looks better not so close to the pink Penstemon.
Orange pyracantha
Sedum – I am happy with this but I will probably split it to encourage it to spread.
Gentian Sino Ornata
Autumn Colour in Johnstone Gardens
These were actually in our neighbours garden on the way out.
Lovely feathery leaves
Beautiful red leaves
. . .look better with a few rain drops
Looking across the water. .
. . and a bit to the left
The colour under this tree was surreal
Looking closer.
I wish I had some green paint
Soft moss covered rocks
and little pathways
wind through the gardens
Yet more beautiful colours – red. . .
. . . and orange
I loved these fir cones
standing so upright.
And for those of you that love hydrangeas.

I have always thought that late summer is my season, now I am not sure any more 🙂
Thanks so much for looking at this page Paula – I think you are the only person that has! I have been wondering whether it is worth doing static pages as most people don’t have time to look at them.
I am not sure, people are very unpredictable in their visits,
I think a lot of people really skim though posts – it is understandable as there is so much good stuff out there. I have found that many visitors don’t click through galleries either so I don’t use them very often either which is a shame as they do show the photos off so much better.
Hi Annette! I have a photography question. Take the echinops…. how do you get such a crisp image of the whole flower? I’ve been having a lot of trouble with this.
I also do a lot of nature photography…..beautiful!!
Gorgeous! I love how you have them separated into seasons!
Thanks. I must add some more – will probably do it one cold winter’s day.
Such beautiful photos. I especially enjoyed the Johnstone Gardens in Fall.
These were taken last year – the light was amazing. I tried again this year, but didn’t catch it the same.
