Autumn colour

The days are getting shorter and the temperature is much cooler. As I stood. on the decking this morning at 7.50 am the sky in our back field was a beautiful blue with crimson meeting the lammermuirs. Giving the beauty of a backdrop behind the top of the leafless trees. As I turned round to walk back indoors I noticed there were still some lovely plants in the garden that are normally in hibernation. Our garden is pleasantly abundantly full of autumn colour.

Our backfield is at 7.50 am. I took the photograph myself.

There are so many plants still out in the garden that have normally stopped flowering. Or stopped thriving altogether.
