    What a very nice group of pics, Bip. That huge, red tree in the last picture looks gorgeous! I could picture seeing it out in a field all by itself surrounded by flat or gently sloping hills....and when the leaves would begin to let loose, they would fall, making a lovely huge red carpet under it....
    That tree is something special, I can see that from here.

    It looks like your flowers are valiantly hanging on. The zinnias--are they short ones or the tall ones?

    I really like the shade of violet of your Lavender Star Verbena Jen. Most of the flowers in my garden are long gone but I do still have a few fuschias hanging on in sheletered areas. I, too, love that gorgeous red leaved tree - some of my Japanese Maples are that colour at this time of year - such a rich red to cheer us up.

    Lovely colors in your yard Bip. There isn't too much left here I'm afraid.
    Zinnia's are a flower I will never do without :)
