Honey bee on calendula
Dogwood in golden autumn shades
Frost struck tithonia, even more dramatic than usual
Hoverfly on sunny bidens
Is there anything more delectable than butter yellow ginkgo leaves?

Quote of the day:
“What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.”
~ Andrew Marvell

What a striking photo. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you … hard to go wrong with warm autumn sunlight and glorious yellow plants!
Lovely autumn shades – that gingko is stunning!
It’s been a good year for colour, albeit multi-staged. I was in London last weekend in a place where ginkgo has been used as the street tree. This avenue ran up a slope (so that you could see them nearly all at once) and they looked splendid!
I would have enjoyed seeing that!
I wish we had ginko trees; they’re so beautiful in every season. And you’re right about the tithoina: very striking.
Thanks Linda. About 5 years ago they planted ginkgo trees all down the street where my parents live, so I went from hearing about ‘the fossil tree’ to seeing first hand how lovely they are.
Cor – the yellow against the blue sky!
I know … it burns!
What a fabulous blue sky with the Gingko.
