Nature's artwork

Not having any of my own handiwork to post right now, I thought I'd share some of the beauty from my garden! My wee maple is making a final flourish before losing all her leaves - she was a 40th birthday present from Nick and the kids a couple of years ago and she is a daily source of joy to me :o) And the fuchsia bush was here when we moved in. I love these plants - they save all their exuberance for when the summer flowers have faded away. They have the stage all to themselves and they always put on a breath-taking show!
