Der Herbst kündigt sich an - Autumn is approaching

Untrügliche Zeichen auf den Herbst... :-((

Admirable et bien eclairee...!

ah les 1eres colchiques !!

Das sind immer wieder schöne Farbtupfer auf fast schon kahlen Wiesen - und hier super beleuchtet.

Hübsch anzusehen!

Beautiful image, wonderful light and colours.

Ja ! Stimmt ! Leider ! Schönen Abend, Cammino !

Gorgeous light and colours.

Superbes photo et lumière. Nicole.

Ohhhhh, aren't these just beautiful! Now I know what these are, as I've seen them sometimes from afar and can't figure out what sort of flowers they are, and yet they remind me so strongly of crocus...now I know it's because...THEY ARE! :D These two are so nicely illuminated too...nice job! :)

I also wanted to say thank you for coming by to visit my last picture(s) while I was away on my vacation without a chance to reciprocate. It was wonderful to get your response and attention, and meant a lot for me to be able to read comments if I had any internet connection at all. Thanks for making me feel so cared-about! (This is a copy-paste to everyone who commented on my previous picture...I wanted to make sure everyone got a thank-you!) :)

It doesn't matter ... I am happy to hear from you again. I wish you that you will have long beautiful memories of your certainly exciting journey.
Maybe some more information about autumn crocus:
From August to October it sprouts its pink to bright violet blossoms from the earth. The funnel-shaped flower seems to sit on a "stem", which in reality represents the flower tube and rises from the bulb 15 - 20 cm deep. The leaves do not appear until next spring and have a tulip-like shape.

Attention: All parts of the plant are very poisonous and there is a danger of confusion with Allium ursinum, known as wild garlic.

Just beautiful!

Such a beautiful Crocus for the approaching Autumn !
Have a lovely weekend

Die Herbstzeitlosen fangen so langsam zum Blühen an.

Traurig schön...der Herbst kam mit einem Paukenschlag und Kälte...

... als Erinnerung bleibt ein langer heißer und trockener Sommer.

Beautiful capture of these crocus Well done Cammino Regards Tess.

Fein - sie leuchten und recken sich dem Himmel entgegen.

So schoen! Ich hab erst ein einziges Mal Herbstzeitlose in Michigan gesehen.
