Searching for Fall

After viewing some stunning Fall colours on other blogs, especially those from the East, I thought I would look and see what I could find this morning. 

I knew that none of the native vegetation would be showing much, and I was right.  Mostly greens and browns and a little yellow thrown in.  Just too much rain and not enough sun.

But, there were lots of red, oranges and yellows in other places.

It's free, and the spreading is free, so it doesn't get much better than that.

It's fresh and a little hot, but it will get washed in tonight, unfortunately more rain predicted

I got the sunflowers planted rather late, but what there are look nice
