The colours of autumn

I just love how summer and autumn are peacefully trying to top each others colours.

Scarlet Hit, is the name of this rather small rose but oh so beautiful.

The bees are still working while the Lisa Rose continues blooming. And she is not nearly done!

This one (Purpura broddur, in Icelandic) has "autumn colour" all summer, which makes a wonderful contrast with the green leaves around.

Skáldarós (Poets rose) shows beautiful variety of reds and pinks and yellows along with the green.

Birkikvistur looks like a beautiful flaming bush in my small garden.

This little Fairy Rose is blooming happily more and more, every day.
All these colours and texture are so inspiring for painting and stitching. So, I take as many photos as I can during this colourful time of year and look through them during winter :-)

Hello From Michigan. WOW, how I loved looking at your Sept. blooms. I especially love the "Fairy Rose" how very lovely it is. I also think your autumn color flowers are very beautiful too. We will both look back on these glorious colors of Autumn and truly appreciated them even more during our long winters months to come. Big Hugs Judy in sunny Michigan
