Our garden continues to be carpeted with these lovely little locust leaves. This year they've provided more drama than any other tree. The warmer weather — coupled with a serious lack of rain — has kept most of our show-stopper trees from coloring up. And then last weekend, the pond gave us one last memorable moment before the temps dropped: three water lilies simultaneously blooming!

What a gift, they are lovely amidst the leaves. :-)

All I can say is "gorgeous".

Well for goodness sakes. This warmer weather is good for something. What a delightful surprise to walk out and see these lilies blooming.

Suddenly you have a Japanese garden! Be careful where you step! It looks like you could walk over that water...

Almost surreal seeing water lilies blooming amongst a carpet of leaves. My water lily is still flowering too - most strange, but very beautiful.
