It's starting to feel like Fall, and there are certain plants and flowers that always make me think of Autumn. In Southern California, the seasons are a little flat because vegetables grow, leaves fall and flowers bloom at all times of year here. But Autumn still has a distinct feel to it.
The light changes, the sun starts to angle. There's a slight chill in the air, especially by Halloween.
I love seeing the afternoon sun shining through the plumes of Miscanthus. It gives such a warm golden glow.
The Light coming through the Miscanthus reminds me of Fall, but the white-gray of the Lamb's Ear makes me think of snow!
There's nothing like sunflowers. They never fail to make me smile.
Echinacea also reminds me of Fall for some reason, despite it's being so bright and cheery. Most things that make me think of Autumn are darker and earthier. It looks great with Rudbeckia even though pink and yellow are not always friendly companions. Maybe it's because their form is similar.
The Fall Equinox is on the evening of September 22 this year. Happy Fall!
Great photos and use of light. I love the name of your blog. I think that is what made me click on the first time. Two picks for you!
