It sure has been a lovely week, all this slow peaceful rain. More like November weather than September. But it's come at a good time, we were getting a little dry. I still like to look out the windows at the shining leaves and emergence of fall colors. We will be coming in to another beautiful time of year.
The dogwoods and Japanese maples are starting to turn to their red decor, even saw a little dose of red in a burning bush. Sedums, Autumn Joy are at their best mild pink, and will eventually go to the burgundy/brick color of fall. Salvias in blues and plum colors look great in the rain.

Here's a fading Celandine poppy (wood poppy, Stylophorum diphyllum) behind some annual Perilla and a Quercifolia. The hackberry leaf snuck in for a cameo. BTW here are some more lovely poppy images:

Click on this pic to see the rain droplets on the needles.I don't mind a few consecutive days of rain but it could get old after awhile. The cats and I are getting antsy to get out side and play.
