Images of Autumn

Both new and older photos of autumn scenes have been the focus of several new pages. First below are wild flowers called New England Asters that I love. They are also popular with bees and butterflies. Second is a picture of a dead tree that was apparently split down the middle, the two parts falling opposite one another, with the middle now home to a vine, its leaves turning color. Last is a beautiful scene from two years ago.

Clematis Seasons

Winter views of our clematis as we will soon be seeing it and a spring view of its early growth.

It doesn't take long to go from tender shoots to full glorious bloom! This is an old plant that was here over 30 years ago when we bought the house, so we have no idea how long it's been here. It blooms a long time and then spends early autumn still green, gradually turning colors then drying to brown. It keeps most of those shriveled leaves through the winter until we trim it in time for those new shoots once more. As always, don't forget to click on the images to see them full size, then hit the back button to return.
