I took this photo for you on a walk last weekend. This is the fleeting beauty of early fall before the cold sets in!
Have you ever heard about the black roses from the village of Halfeti inTurkey? This video is worth watching if you are curious to see and learn about it. They are only black in the summer and only grow in this region where the soil (due to the PH level in the river Euphrates) is compatible for it. It is not really black, but a deep crimson. Here is an article if you don't like videos.

Our trees are changing rapidly here, natures final flourish before Winter really sets in...already getting cold here.brrr.
Loved seeing the video about the roses, wow! they are so unusual and there is something rather lovely about them.
I don't like videos so thanks for the article. What a lovely photo of that black rose!
The autumn beauty comes and goes so quickly. We've been so busy with our home this year and I've, sadly, missed it all.
Martha, it's not over yet! Hope you get out there, although it's so cold today, I pulled my winter jacket out!
Very nice picture. Winter comes early for in my area. Today, snow, rain, Sun, clouds, sleet and hail. A friend of mine and I were going to his a nearby forest for photos, but had to cancel.
Oh no! I hate when that happens.
What a beautiful shot! Fall can be such a lovely time of year! Loved those black roses, very interesting, thank you.
I read the article. Pretty darn impressive! Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely red colour in those leaves - looking very dramatic with the sun shining through. Was it a Virginia Creeper or another sort of vine
not sure Cathy you are probably right.
The good news is, we knew ahead of time so we had an idea that it would be canceled. Gonna try next weekend.
Right after posting on yours and Richard's blog, I stepped outside and we had big fat snow flakes. So pretty. Winter coat for sure.
Did you have a nice day?
it was good Ivy, I had actually gone for a cold morning walk and felt cold all day. It was so different just last week but such is fall.
