The other day as I wandered through the fog taking in the colors, I started to see connections and transitions in the colors around me. Walking around with a camera will do that. Our maple in the front yard is what can only be described as Stop sign red. On a sunny day you need sunglasses it’s so bright.<\/p>\n

In another garden I came across another maple that could be a color match for a fire hydrant.<\/p>\n

I found big maple leaves so red the color vibrated on our now green green grass. That’s one of my favourite benefits of living in a rainy place, the grass is green all winter.<\/p>\n

The crocosmia in our front garden glowed when the sun came out.<\/p>\n

And then the deeper red of this tree in the neighbourhood, it’s trunk full of the most lovely gray green moss.<\/p>\n

Or the magenta of the Autumn Joy sedum now in it’s glory in the front garden.<\/p>\n

And then what did I see but the full transition of red to pink, which is, to me, really a summer color. But no, here it is glowing under the ferns in another garden in these tiny delicate cyclamen.<\/p>\n

Or in my own garden, the gorgeous pink of the bergenia leaves as they change and die.<\/p>\n

But I leave you with the last color of the Hydrangea blooms, earlier in summer a periwinkle blue, and now, a lovely tint of magenta pink. And I haven’t even covered all the yellows and oranges…..<\/p>\n
