Fall Beauty

So much beauty surrounds me right now.

Every day I want to just keep looking, all the time. 

 Front flowerbed

I didn't know that the daylily foliage would change colors in the fall. What a pleasant surprise!

Another reason to love these dianthus: check out the deep purple color of their stems and leaves!

Baby aspens on the back slope.

These should all come out, but they are so pretty right now, that I can't bring myself to do it. Maybe once all their leaves fall off...

Directly across the street.

 How many different pinecones do you see?

I counted at least 4.

  The dark evergreen really makes that orange pop.

This really a beautiful little tree, even without fruit on it.
