I hadn’t planned on making this photo essay a three-part project.  After capturing the image of maple leaves (in yesterday’s post), I headed for the warmth of the house.  With one hand on the door, I looked to my right.  My hand let go of the door.  As it closed, I walked to the deck railing and set up the tripod.

It was in Sylvia’s flower garden (actually one of three).  I thought you too might enjoy these autumnal colors.

Light was weak in this patch of pink.  Full light here comes in the mid afternoon.  Rain had fallen that morning and you can see (not easily) drops on a few leaves.

A darker purple in this patch.  Also much stronger light.  Moisture shows better in this image.  Grasses in the background are good collectors.

Finally, I’ll wrap this tour with my favorite shot from the flower garden.

I was going to present a wider view.  When I resized, the moisture disappeared.  For that reason, I cropped the scene while keeping the red, green, white color contrast.
