The colours of autumn

The rake is leaning against the rowan tree which is almost red.  The self sown rowan seedling in the pot is a beautiful red and the leaves may stay for another week or two.  The rowan tree seems to be the last to lose all its leaves.  The yellow in the background is the cherry tree and the leaves on the lawn are from the Manchurian pear, which started the season with a range of colours from yellow to red.
The leaves are not the only colourful features in the garden.  The chrysanthemum in mauve and red are still looking good.

Not to be outdone the last of the sunflower stands tall.  The cockatoos have been busy on the rowan tree and hopefully will not notice this single sunflower.
