It looks like this will be our final garden stroll. As the leaves softly whisper to the wind the colors slowly start to fade.
A dwarf Fothergilla planted for its autumn beauty with leaves in a fiery glow of red, burgundy, yellow and orange.
When most trees have already dropped their leaves my Cleveland Pear puts on a show.
Spots of color can still be found here and there.
The trumpet honeysuckle vine is a showy, sassy climber and looks great in autumn with yellow leaves.
Nestled among my Virginia Sweetspire and Summersweet bushes I have a few Miscanthus grasses.
White flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescence above the foliage in late summer, gradually turning into silvery white plumes as the seeds mature. They provide winter interest when everything else is bare.
I've spent the last couple of weeks cherishing the moments of autumn - breathing the crisp, cool autumn air and watching the leaves flutter from the trees with each gust of wind.
Although Halloween may be over the spider webs still glisten with dew.
As dawn breaks, pearl like water droplets stretch across our spruce trees. Each intricate design so unique as it sways from side to side.
Thank you for stopping to visit me and for letting me share my gardens with you. I have been very busy the last few days finishing up some custom card orders. I'm also working on a few other projects, which I can't quite reveal yet ... so stay tuned.

Thank you for the lovely stroll, Donna. Your gardens are beautiful all seasons of the year. I love the spider web in the spruce tree. Lovely. xx
I love the spider webs! We have tons of leaves everywhere... and more to drop! Great photos.
You still have some pretty color! But my favorites are the grasses and the spider webs.
Wonderful color Donna. Now those web photos are fantastic shots.

Love autumn's changing colours, as if nature keeps repainting everything, so beautiful, a last explosion of colour before winter sets in. And the spiderwebs are little pieces of art really.
Bye,
Marian
As always Donna it's a pleasure to view your yard, plants and trees. Your capture of the spiderweb is awesome! It's so well done- my compliments to the spider!! I cut a few pieces of my grass to use for a tablescape. I love seeing them in the winter- it's a great reminder of the season past.
