Macro Monday - Signs of Fall

For the past few days, it has been cold here and very wet - 2 Nor'Easters that hit us back to back and temperatures that are 20 degrees below normal for this time of year. My garden is starting to look barren as the flowers die off.

Climbing Hydrangea
The flowers are done but the leaves are still green

The leaves on one of my lilac bushes are just starting to turn

My ornamental pear tree only bears small fruit in late fall

I've barely left summer behind, it's hard to believe others are already thrown into winter! Nice shots. Montero is looking great!

So pretty! Your photos look like they would all be perfect for a botanical collage poster. Good job :)
