Autumn is here and the hoards of tourists are mostly gone. Fewer people, blue skies, unusually warm sunshine and rich smelling earth make for a lovely time to visit the gardens.
The texture and colours of these wet leaves make me think of a tapestry.
Roses are fading... but dahlias are still going strong. In the rose garden workers were trimming boxwood hedges and, as usual, they used only hand tools.
Lots of dew on these flowers. Chrysanthemums?
These small flowers (Penstemon?) are proving to be a challenge to photograph. I haven't yet been able to get a photo of them that I like. 
I don't know what this forlorn looking flower is.
Quite often I don't bother to look at the fountain at the back of the gardens because it usually looks the same, but on this day I was glad I did. The lighting and the drifting mist were unusual.
