Yeah, yeah, I posed for you. Where's my treat?

A small gray shih tzu with a plumy tail curved over his back looks up expectantly. He is standing patiently in the middle of autumn's maple leaves, which carpet the ground in brilliant shades of yellow, maroon, red, orange, and some brown.

Yesterday's rose
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleAutumn #BloomScrolling
A yellow rose peeks over a fence, backlit by the late afternoon sun. Its cup shaped corolla with its unfolding petals hides the heart, which is just a hint of gold at the center. The rosebush leaves are dappled with sunlight.

Just a rose in an autumn sunset
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleAutumn #ChineseRose #Roses #OurGarden #BloomScrolling
A pink Chinese rose with white striations on its five outspread petals glows in the setting sunlight. It has a heart of golden stamens bristling outwards. It is surrounded by dark green leaves. It's been a while since I've done any vignetting, but it seems appropriate this time.

It's that time of year when the leaves are gone and the lichen and mosses growing on the tree branches take center stage

Autumn crocuses glowing in the evening sun
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleAutumn #BloomScrolling #MapleLeafNeighborhood
A mass of lavender pink autumn crocuses burst out from the garden mulch. The six petaled flowers have a white heart, and pink "freckles" along the petals. The stems are white. Autumn crocuses are leaflets at the time they bloom, and look oddly naked.

It's starting to feel like fall. Longer shadows. Cooler nights. A red leaf or two.
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleAutumn #OurNeighborhood
A couple of red, lobed, red maple leaves have fallen among the green green leaves of a jasmine shrub. The color contrast is striking. The red is vibrant. There are a few yellowing, oval jasmine leaves in the mass.

The fall colors are just not there, I moan and groan. It's almost November! Then I come on a patch of vine maples!

A triptych of photos of vine maple leaves in brilliant orange, red and yellow fall colors. Vine maple leaves are rounded, palmate, and have seven or more dentate lobes. The vine maple isn't really a vine, but usually a bush with many thin branches or a small tree.

Japanese maple in the park in autumn
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleAutumn #CowenPark #Leaves #FallColors #EastCoastKin
A view of Japanese maple leaves in an array of colors: the leaves look like stars cascading down. They are dense, overlapping each other, with colors ranging from a lime green in the upper left, to pink, orange, red, and darker shades at the bottom right. The leaves are palmate with seven or so dentate, well defined lobes.

A drooping black cherry tree branch transects the image. It is covered with leaves turning autumnal colors, from russer to gold at the top to dark green with hints of purple at the bottom. The ground in the background is littered with colorful leaves. The effect is a penumbra shot through with jewel like colors.
