Oak Leaf Hydrangea--always the last to let go

Backlit in the late afternoon, this bush colors reliably, is almost last to loose its leaves and is located right next to our parking.
Summer slips away. Color on Forge Mountain, scene (daily) of Tennessees first sunrise.
A new tree in the front yard - an Autumn blaze maple - makes good on the promise of strong fall color.
Japanese anemoone lends a soft touch to early fall.
This red oak leaf has given up the ghost, although its cousins have not. They dance against the clear, crisp blue autumn sky.

We live in far Northeast Tennessee where the fall color is glorious but most of the leaves are totally gone by the end of October. Our property came to us with virtually NO fall color (not in the trees, bushes, etc.) We have planted maples, allowed burning bush to come up (sorry--it IS beautiful!) and gradually added more plants each year.  Our inn operates a wedding garden so it has to look nice all year round.
