Last of the fruits!

I'm particularly unsure of this one taken after a hard frost on Wednesday night, my son said "what are taking photographs of stuff like that for?" I told him that I'm fascinated by their transition from beautiful, large crimson flowers, to these gnarled, twisted, parched remnants, is it only me and the birds that find them interesting?

Grasses in early morning light 5D 100mm macro lens f2.8 1/80, I love the play of the light on the delicate fronds, luckily not much wind that morning.

Just before the snow comes, one can see the end of the summers seeds and fruit. Things seem to hang around. Will insects and birds eat the fruit? What will be left of the plants after the frost, how does the ground look like in the early morning when there's dew on everything.

There's such a lot to observe and find beauty in.

I appreciate that you are bringing us these excepts from your garden and nearby as winter comes to make it's final sweep of the landscape.

I hope we can show more of the remnants of summer!
