Mid-Autumn

If June 21st represents Mid-Summer, then surely September 21st ought to be considered Mid-Autumn.

The top image is the French Impressionist rose called "Sisley", the second image is today's offering with shrubs colouring and berries lending a hand to cheer us up in the garden. A rather dramatic difference. We'd better brace ourselves for a complete toning down of colour, but this will be conpensated by a clearer expression of line. Once the trees are bare, the outlines of the branches give such interesting shapes, which still please the eye, even in the absence of colour. But before that....

......we still have oodles of the most beautiful red flowers all over the place.
