I have a love/hate relationship with fall. I bet a lot of you do, too. It's not that I hate winter; I actually enjoy winter sports and there's nothing to compare with the sunrise after a snow storm. Still, I'd rather be outside gardening.
Fall color is nature's way of easing us into the bleakness of February, in northern climates. One last hurrah and then hunker down and be patient. All the more reason to celebrate fall and that's just what the photographers in our October Garden Photo Challenge did. It was total eye candy and very hard to come to a consensus on the winning photos. But we've reached our decision and here they are, the winners of the Fall Color Photo Challenge.
The Nov/Dec challenge has already been posted. It's Holiday Plants, appropriately enough. And by that we mean anything you do with plants, to celebrate and decorate for any of the upcoming holidays. Centerpieces, cornucopias, pots on the porch, decorations on the mantle. Share your holidays with us.
Congratulations to this month's winners and thank you to everyone who submitted photos!

Beautiful photos. Wish this contest lasted through November. Here in northern Tuscany we have spectacular fall color now.
Tuscany in autumn. Now that sounds nice.
Maybe you have something that would fit into the holiday plant theme. Just because it’s outdoors, doesn’t mean it isn’t a holiday treat.
