Thanks! I think probably they did...they were so
busy with their costumes and their treats, it was hard to tell
and it really didn't matter, the kids were having fun, and that's
what's important.

Btw, anybody that wants to bring in their fall pix, feel free to do so.
I'd love to see them

my pumpkin & babies

A few pix I took Friday and yesterday....


Some mums and ornamental cabbages still in bloom...



A tree that just doesn't want to give up it's leaves.....

An autumn flower arrangement I spotted...


And this is a painting in that same building...not necessarily fall,
but I loved it, so whipped out the camera...

obsessed said:

I like the contrasting details in each flower.
Beautiful picture.

We were in Chicago a few days and the hotel had these pictures in the rooms,
as well as in the hallways...in different colors....I really wish I had
taken photos of all the different ones...there was a black, gray, and white
one that was absolutely gorgeous.....why I didn't photograph it, I really
don't know

So I messed around with some photo editing and came up with this...it's
about as close as I could get to the original...I think I should have made
the background "white" however...hmmm.

This was taken before Halloween.
Still hasn't gotten cool enough for the plants/trees to notice.

obsessed said:

Wow, I liked that you named your thread "Nature's Beauty"..it fits. Those are some beautiful pics. That other flower looks translucent.

tony23k said:

Wow! That's really a bright pink...what kind of flower is it?

From my view, it looks like a rose or a begonia...

Thanks again for the suggestion...my snapshots don't actually do those
paintings justice...they were huge....maybe 5' by 4'...not sure, I'm not
good at estimating size. But they were truly beautiful.

That fall flower arrangement was at the reception desk and the lights in the
background blinked on and off; and somehow they mirrored the blinking lights
on the floor as well...the whole area just sparkled, if you like that sort
of thing, which I guess I do.

obsessed said:

It's a rose.Light pink and almost white towards the base.
I think the brightness comes from it being a capture from video.
Also the direct sunlight.

tony23k said:

Very pretty

obsessed said:

I'm not sure what these are,but at night when it's cool


they look nice in the fall/winter.

tony23k said:

These are gorgeous! Is this a still shot from your video camera?

During the day, are the leaves green?

Questions, questions

obsessed said:

Yes and Yes.
During the day,
the little clusters of flowers open.

tony23k said:

Oh!

Little flowers too

obsessed said:

just a minor detail.


Oh,and they're non-fragrant

tony23k said:

Awww, non-fragrant?
