Here's the part of the vegetation rainbow I found on my walk across the street today.
...
I actually made it out the door before dusk n shot a few, then picked a few for the scanner project. Soon all these leaves will wither n brown, but the scans will live on forever in vivid color...
...
The photos won't get done to use right away, though, (Maybe next week). The Maples are all bare, so the red, orange, n brown Oak, Ash, birch, n Sassafrass are providing the current show by still hanging onto a few bits of color spared by the storm.
...
The surge from that storm last week-end actually flooded a few roads right down the hill from me, damaged some floating piers, n beached some craft off moorings around the bay according to the local weekly.
...
Then there's the bright pink n orange tube-flower berries from my yard I like to add for contrast.
Very few were spared from the Tent-caterpillars n the landlord's landscape-weed-whacker-pruning, non-skills. It's amazing any plants make it through his crash n burn visits. In two summers he's managed to kill all the mature shrubs in the yard, including the Lilacs and Bramble-roses, which he always trimmed off next years flowering branches, the Forsynthias, n a pretty white-flowering mystery bush just after it blossomed this year. I liked the yard much better before this guy took over for his dad...
If it were up to me, the plants would still be abundant in this yard as they were when I moved in.
...
Well lucky for me, the woods are still allowed to live across the way for all of our Autumn enjoyment.
