The top one is from the Preserve and one of the few seasonal changes I’ve noticed here. Many plants seem to be recovering from the summer heat and getting ready to bloom again. The second is from the Japanese gardens in Descanso Gardens so yes, very zen.
We don’t have many “seasonal” colors because there aren’t lots of deciduous trees here, so that first one is special. 🙂 The second is in southern California, which is different.
What beautiful seasonal shots, Janet. I adore the first one, for its boldness. And the rocky one has a very calm feeling to it, a touch of zen.

None noticed the beauty
Love these janet 🙂
Thanks very much, Brian. 🙂
Amazing captures, Janet. I especially like the the second one more 🙂
I found that scene very calming. It’s part of a pond in a Japanese garden.
Definitely seasonal … love the stones! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thanks and you as well.
Very nice. I love the contrast with the rocks. The rocks are in water…correct? It’s hard to tell.
Somehow I missed this comment, so sorry about the delay in response. Yes, the rocks are in water, in a large pond in a Japanese garden. 🙂
Lovely!
Thanks, Jackie, and lovely to see you on a Sunday morning. Enjoy your day.

I like the first branch-it reminds me of a string of butterflies all lined up. 😀
Oooo, wouldn’t that be cool to see! 🙂
It would indeed! 😀
That time of the year again!

Love that second image!
Thanks, Sue. The Japanese garden was so peaceful and beautiful.
Lovely
Janet – so clever how the branch is above the rocks and leaves – the two photos were paired so well!
Nice for seasonal
Too
Thanks, Yvette. Glad you enjoyed them. 🙂 The top leaves are about as seasonal as Arizona gets where we are.
😊🍁🍂
Precious leaves of gold. Fleeting beauty. Ephemeral gold. Enjoy the moment. . It is fleeting..
We should enjoy all good moments as if they were fleeting, don’t you think, Virginia?
Neat, Janet! Wish money grew on the plant!
Wouldn’t that be nice!!
Right?
Very “wabi sabi”. Lovely photos, Janet.
Thanks very much, Lignum.
Beautiful. Loved the colours…they bring in vibrancy yet a infuse a sense of calm 💛🧡
I’m so happy you enjoyed the photos. 😊. I felt that sense of calm as well. Much needed these days!
