    I have been thinning out and cleaning up the garden but they are forecasting a hard frost in the next few days. These flowers have survived a few mild frosts but I will pull the remaining impatiens tomorrow because they are a mess to deal with after a hard frost!

    Beautiful. There is just something magical about fog in the garden.

    I can't believe you call that a garden. It's so lovely and reminds me of a well-kept park. You've got so many nice colours still, lucky you. I hope they will last for another few weeks. The frost can take itself somewhere else. :stew2:

    You live in splendid surroundings. The colours of autumn and the remaining blooms are delightful to see.
    You guys have selected a really nice-looking place to live....and now we can benefit from the visual aspect too!
    Thanks.

    What a beautiful garden you have. So much colour - the flowers and the trees are just beautiful. The shots of the frost and fog are stunningly atmospheric.

    What beautiful photos those first three would make great oil paintings. Stunning.

    I can't think of words to describe those photos! I'll just say "Ditto" to everyone else's responses.
    I'm going back and look again... and again!

    That is really beautiful, I guess that must be one of the fringe benefits living in a 4 season zone :)

    Gail, Your garden is still so beautiful!
    This is a bittersweet time of year for me. I feel sad when I pull out the annuals that have been so pretty.
    As always, your photos are great!
