Fall colors, surprise flowers

Nice fall foliage showing up - I love this view across the backyards and into the neighborhood behind us:

This is in the neighbor's plantings along the property line:

I love the play of sunlight and shadow on this group planting:

And this lone purple petunia:

I've forgotten the name of this rose colored plant, but it looks great with the elephant ears and coleus:

The Persian Shield is huge this year. The iridescence reminds me of fly wings:

Fall also seems to be spider season!
