Look to the right and Autumn has definitely arrived.
Look right and, with the exception of the spider web, it could still be summer.
There are brick paths under those leaves. If it's dry this weekend they'll be cleaned off again.
Because we live in town, our views include buildings. Fortunately there are still a lot of older trees in the neighborhood that provide nice color in the autumn.
Yes, those are raindrops. Also you can just barely see the roof of the greenhouse in the center right of the picture. That bamboo grove is tall.
On Wednesday morning, there was a bit of sunshine peeking through the clouds for a few minutes.
Fall has been grand and now I'm ready for May again.
Peter - if I had your view, I couldn't possibly get anything done. I would have to go to a windowless room... Love the bold punctuation of the Banana leaves and the Spider's Web Fatsia, in the fields of color. Very, very pretty post!
ReplyDeleteThe Spider's Web Fatsia was a stand out for me too. That's a plant I don't normally care for but it makes that first shot so special!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great view of your garden that we never see, so thanks for sharing it. It was fun! But please don't rush into spring. I still have a lot of work to do!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the pun. Very much enjoyed the color. My impression of fall color in western Washington was bigleaf maple tree yellow and that's it. I've had enough May, June, July, whatever and would be more than happy to have any of those views out my window especially the last one minus the cars.
ReplyDeleteGreat fall colors ! Love the mix of shrubs and trees and the privacy (ok, one distant house you barely see). Every view is oh so beautiful !
ReplyDeleteYou've a beautiful view! And I was relieved to realize that you hadn't actually fallen out of a window - after the earlier story of your weekend garden adventures, I was worried.
ReplyDeleteI echo danger's comment exactly! Except I wasn't as sure about which Fatsia it was... thanks for the id. The long view out of the window is spectacular: can we get another look around mid January?
ReplyDeleteI'll try to remember to post an update in January!
DeleteOh, come on. Let us get through the rest of October first, before we jump to May. there is lots more pretty out there.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Linda, there's still a lot of pretty to come so just for you, we won't skip any months this year.
DeleteYou have some stunning views! Did you take the photos through glass? If so, they're truly amazing! I'm with you--well, after about January 21 I'm ready for spring. I like a little winter, but it lasts way too long.
ReplyDeleteGreat views! I can see how a person might forget forget themselves staring out at all that beauty and lean to far.
ReplyDeleteFantastic colours, really beautiful views from your windows. But no, I can't skip to May, there's too much to come in Jan/Feb/March/April, like snowdrops, hellebores Narcissus etc!
ReplyDeleteWOW, beautiful autumn color! I enjoy the different perspective. And you have the spiders helping you decorate for Halloween : )
ReplyDeleteI need a month to rest up and then I will be ready for May again. What a great street shot. Nothing adds character to a neighborhood like old trees. You have some great views with both color and texture. A very different look at your garden.
ReplyDeleteI remember from last year, you get the most amazing autumn colour in your part of the world. Stunning!

ReplyDeleteMe too. I'm ready for spring. I'm glad you didn't fall while taking these lovely photos. Your garden rocks.
ReplyDeleteThe title of your post caused me to do a double take. Some gorgeous color can be seen from your window, and I'm glad they can be viewed without broken bones.
