November is at the half-point – the time when garden bloggers share what they find blooming in their gardens through the meme, Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, run by Carol at May Dreams Gardens. After a cup of warm morning coffee I took a stroll in my Connecticut gardens to see what my camera could catch.
Much of Connecticut awoke this morning to snow falling from the sky and sticking to the ground. It's November 8. Unlike more northern New England states, most of Connecticut usually remains snow-free until December or at the earliest, Thanksgiving.
Ok, so I didn't get the previous photos' locations out on Friday – still catching up from a month-long trip through parts of southwestern U.S. – but better late than never. I missed watching New England's patchwork of trees change from multiple greens to vibrant yellows, oranges, reds, and browns (I also missed the first light basil-nipping frost which my family reports happened about October 10), but I was happy to see showy October colors in parts of Colorado. With some adjustments to the raw, straight-out-of-the-camera photos in my previous post, Colorado's colors show more accurately.
Travels took me away from the height of New England's autumn colors but exposed me to beautiful autumn foliage elsewhere as you can see in the photos posted below. Any guesses where these striking yellows and burnt oranges can be found during October?
