Beauty Seeker

The last days of October 
the last days of Autumn
slipping by too quickly

I decided to go for a walk today and seek the beauty that still remains, and capture glorious colors of the season

Viburnum plicatum ('Shasta' Doublefile Viburnum) and Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple)

Viburnum burkwoodii

Euonymus alatus (Burning Bush) in it's shining moment

Viburnum carlesii (Korean Spice) with Euonymus alatus and Euonymus fortunei 'Blondy' (wintercreeper)

Spirea's best season is the fall in my opinion

Miscanthus sinensis ' Silberfeder' (Silver Feather Grass)

Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail' - first year in the garden

a variety of Vaccicum (blueberry)

Another spirea with burgundy fall color

Aesculus parviflora (Bottlebrush Buckeye)

Hamamelis (Witchhazel)

Acer palmatum 'Sangu kaku' (Coral Bark Japanese Maple)

Cercis canadensis (Redbud)

More Redbud leaves - they look like golden hearts

Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold' (Japanese Forest Grass)

Ajuga reptans 'Black Scallop' (Bugleweed)

Molinia arundinacea 'Skyracer' with Celastrus scandens (American bittersweet) in the background

Echinacea pupurea (Purple coneflowers) still blooming

Hydrandea paniculata 'Limelight'

Take a walk before fall slips away
Seek beauty
Capture it
Share it! 
We'd love to see what you find.
