more autumn color

I planted this rich purple Salvia last autumn I think, and it is still quite spindly, but once it fills that space between the hydrangea and hebe, I hope it may look rather lovely

it will become a dark pool in amongst all these rich reds

These are echoed, nearer the house, by the pond, where the little waterboy is ever hopeful

Then, nearer still to the house, there is another flush of rich reds and pinks, an old potted rose and another hydrangea

If you turn, these colours bounce off back past the waterboy and the maple

to the lower bed where we started

Those russets were echoed recently by a brief visitation from a regular visitor, who trotted past the back door and scampered off down the garden

What a fine tail you have Foxy Loxy

Whoosh!
