as i surveyed the yard and (primitive) gardens around the cottage i found this “last rose of summer” flower. ok, it’s not really a rose – just using that ‘figure of speech’. this is probably the biggest blossom that plant had this year – rather like those first ones i cut that eventually became the models for my pattern design.
i was also surprise to find the ginko tree still dressed in her fall splendor! one morning soon i will look out and she will be nearly completely naked, having dropped all that color over night.
perhaps i should have taken this earlier? that shadow was not nearly that noticeable to the naked eye. still, rather dramatic, i guess. ^_^
i think the sun is just not so bright these days – in my yard. has fallen below the trees to the south. it’s not that late in the day, only 1:30.
