The evening autumn light is magical; it washes the garden in warm colour. Fleeting though it is it is one of my favourite times of day in this season.
The rays of the sun wash over the trunk of the mulberry making the seat under it even more enticing, if only for a few minutes.
Where would the garden be without grasses?
The light captures their ephemeral beauty.
….. and then of course there’s the sky!
So beautiful! It really is a bit of heaven on earth.
i LOVE your Autumn garden, the photos really “speak” to me! Lovely!!
Definitely the time of day to enjoy a garden, it is so peaceful.
Beautiful, I love both dusk and dawn at this time of year, but our garden faces east so it bathes in the morning light, while we have to chase the evening light round the front.
Lovely lighting your garden, the plants look really beautiful with the sun shining through, your hot summer must now be a nasty dream!
Yes, a month of ‘normal’ weather and the garden and I are happy again. Christina
that blue formal garden is lovely
Thank you Diana.
Love, love that late afternoon light! Your garden, as always, is so beautiful with its soft washes of color.
Gorgeous sky! I’m so pleased to hear that you love grasses as much as I do!
Fabulous. There is no better time of year for golden light playing on plants and making them sing out, particularly grasses. Wonderful images.
Stunning, Christina. Such a lovely quality to the light. On a dull, damp day here I can almost feel the warmth from the Italian sun. I agree grasses do look beautiful, although they work better in a drier climate. With a wet summer and a wet couple of weeks recently my own grasses are starting to look a little worse for wear.
It is true that grasses don’t always look so good is prolonged damp! But I have friends in Devon, where it rains a lot that have wonderful displays, they need to be the right kind. Christina
from ken. stunning sunset. You live in a wonderful place. It is very wet and dark and windy here. Must be lovely to see a sun.
Yes, I love seeing a blue sky and the sun relatively high in the sky, although not in the summer when it’s above 35°C. Christina
I love these beautiful photos Christina. The grasses look amazing in the sunlight. They look great here too, tossing in the wind, with raindrops hanging from their flower heads, and covered in cobwebs in the morning mist. This is not to say I wouldnt like some late sunshine too!
Christina what a gorgeous sky…I love the warm colors of the evening light in fall as well…lots of lovely things in bloom in your garden!
Late afternoon/early evening is my favorite time of day any time of the year. Those grasses capture the golden light wonderfully.
You remind me why I love autumn, Christina. I’m also loving spring right now. Why can’t these two seasons just merge and squeeze summer out altogether?
Now that would be lovely! Christina
