still on the way to work, October 23, Murray Ave.

.

Oh my. Wow.

Dogwood.







So much variety, on one stem.





This tree has outdone itself. Not sure if these are small apples or big crabapples.





Color will get me, every time, but gotta appreciate this, too.....





Like the chairs and flowers on the porch, and, of course, the orange door.





Clump of grass. Very Large clump of grass.





Now here's something I wasn't expecting.

Neither the dark purple leaves, nor the ... flowers! ........

Forsythia.











Honeysuckle. Not as many flowers as the last time I walked by, but still smells very nice indeed.





Marigolds.





Mum on porch. Love the orange/gold with the quiet colors of the house/porch.





Walking eastward into town on Liberty.





The color caught my eye, and then the shape/shadow. I don't know why I tend to think of leaves as "flat"........





Love the curtains.





I think these are zelkova. When all the elms died, people looked for other trees with that same sort of shape.... Zelkovas are much smaller than elms (or maybe haven't yet had time to grow to their full size?).







We have surely had a lot of gorgeous days this fall.

On your previous post, I think that mysterious dried flower with the interesting tendril may be a type of campanula. Does that make sense?

I need orange said...

I recognize a campanula in bloom, but before or after, I am clueless.....

You may well be right.
