As fall approaches, and the sun moves lower in the sky, large parts of the garden are cast into changing shadow, hour to hour. Trees, capturing the wind, let through intermittent shafts of light, on the best days creating constantly moving patterns in greens, golds, pinks, tawny browns.

Garden Diary: Changing light of fall

Hi James, I love this time of year with this golden light. Everything appears both new and mature at the same time.

Autumn does have beautiful light.
ReplyDeleteFrances & Susan,
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite season. My garden cools down quickly, and gets much darker early because of the surrounding trees. But the light on good autumn days can be magical, with shafts of brilliance penetrating the darkness.
