Signs of Autumn

In the first photo, you can see a pumpkin through the branches of the New England Aster, which is just starting to blossom. Unfortunately, I didn't aim quite right; the blossoms were just above the top edge of the frame. The hostas along the right were very late in blooming.

There's a pumpkin in this photo. See if you can find it.

The second photo features Sedum, which starts white and deep[ens to purple as the season progresses.

Sedum

The third photo features white chrysanthemums. Autumn wouldn't be Autumn without mums1.

Chrysanthemus

The last photo features petunias and, to the right, some Guacamole hostas, which blooms in late Summer with fragrant blossoms.

Oh, no, not again.

In a couple weeks I expect to have some pics of asters in full bloom, and maybe a Close-up of the swans that appeared a while ago. Right now I'm snapping pictures of glorious Fall color.

1Editor's Note: To the shock of many people in Europe and East Asia, the chrysanthemum has only cheerful associations in the US. The flower can even be worn as a Homecoming corsage. However, in China, Korea and Japan, the flower symbolises grief. In France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Romania (and probably other countries), they are funeral flowers.
