The best of Summer may be over in the garden, petals mostly gone, except for Cosmos, as we haven’t had a heavy frost yet, and the leaves are falling, although the larger trees surrounding us are going their Autumn thing, providing us with a display of yellow, orange and reds, and I look forward to the best which is yet to come. Here in the garden, the focus is changing from the soft swathes of flowers to the more structural stems of Sunflowers with their huge heads of seeds, Teasels and, closer to the ground, Roses, which have beautiful coloured hips. A quick note in a sketchbook is a reminder to attempt a different version before they disappear.
