Hues are emphasized by the damp.

I rushed out, just in case I didn’t have enough images in my file.
.
The richness of a wet Fall morning!
Quite extraordinary.
.
The Fall inventory was getting out of control, so last night I created some files.
Rather than make a new one for “wet mornings”, I decided to post these while fresh.

A bedraggled groundhog popped out for a snack.

“I heard you wos missing me?”
We expect frost any night now which may send it back to bed until some time next March.

Wet flowers segue to “flowers”.
A few late hangers-on.

Mallow looked brighter yesterday.
Such a pretty flower.
.
A couple of days ago I took a picture of mallow’s cousin, outside the dentist’s clinic.
.
It’s colour matched by a late lily at our front door.
We appreciate flowers that bloom late into Fall.

At Salem Art Works, Lady’s Glove…
and Indian blanket flowers.

In Greenwich…an assortment.

A late blooming plum outside the Veterinary Hospital.
.
This mullien plant thrived, having space and no pests to snack on it.
It has medicinal properties.

The best comes last.

7th October.
We’re always happy to see a bee.
Pretty flowers!
We’ve seen lots of bees in the last few days. I think they are having a last feed on the Summer flowers before they all disappear.
I envy your damp. We are in a drought again in Missouri, but counting our blessings not to have been hit by Helene or Milton. Spectacular bumblebee photo!!
Amazing pictures, Carolyn! 🙂
We Indians are blessed in a way that we never have autumn, nor snow and ice. We get flowers all the year round (and fresh fruits and veggies too). But we never see the fall colours, so it is a little sad.
I remember when we lived in SE Asia that there was wet and dry and the flame trees had their season though I don’t remember when it was. But I do love the four seasons here. But you do have the Himalayas!
While there are still quite a few signs of Autumn in your part of the world, it seems that Winter is also starting to show its colours now — or should I rather say bare trees. And flowers adorned in raindrops … it remains one of the most beautiful things to see in Nature. But you’re right — you’ve left the best for last. What stunning photos of the bee and flower – love it!
Lovely Bee photos. I haven’t seen a Bee for weeks here now. The Groundhog does indeed look bedraggled, it must be time for a cosy hibernation!
Best wishes, Pete.
