Wonderful plants and photos. I do like Michaelmas Daisies and that's what those look like, but I'm no authority. The dew drops on everything make me feel as though I can smell the fresh earth.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, I particularly liked the maple leaf.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful and atmospheric photos. We have sunshine here, but it was cool first thing. Butterflies still around the flowers. Autumn has well and truly arrived though . . .
