The Last Of The Crape Myrtles

....have given us fall colors......
Out and about in the garden
this gorgeous fall day,
with more tidying up to do,
 when I noticed sadly,
the crape myrtles
are just about finished
for the season.

The tiny leaves of the 
myrtles are as close
as we come, in my
Florida garden,
to having
seasonal
 colored leaves. 
One has to get
up close to the
 trees to see all
that is taking place,
as they prepare
for winter.
I'm loving the golden
pinks and red colors.

Sigh......
I'm looking spellbound
as nature weaves
tiny and beautiful
tinted leaves.
Have a blessed day.....Dee Dee
