For much of the US, the colors of autumn are red, yellow, orange, and green. In the tropics of South Florida, autumn’s palette is a bit more expansive, as these celosia spicata blooms attest. Photographed in Sunrise, Florida, October 16, 2014. Higher resolution versions of this photo can be viewed at 500px.com.

These are really gorgeous, Kenn. What a wonderful color.
Here up north, we had amazing autumn colors this year, but most of the leaves have fallen now.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Beautifully taken and shown Kenn. Only my camellia bush is pink around here, but it is nice to see it on gray days. It’s so cheery.

  Thank you, Deborah. When you finally make that winter trip to South Florida, you’ll have all manner of color to bring you good cheer.
