Eliza Waters 
Always amongst the first to burst into colour. Beauty!
Thank you, Dale… they seem to usher in the season and do it dramatically. 🙂
There is a competition between them and the sumac 🙂
Yes! Another flame-thrower of the season. 🍁
Indeed!
Eliza, thank you for sharing this magical taste of autumn. Your photo is stunning.
Thank you kindly, Alys!
Like bright embers in the woods ✨
I love your poetic view, Isha! They are that. ❤
❤️😘
These creepers never fail to please.
Agreed, one of my favorite vines, esp. come fall.
🍁🍁🍁🍁beautiful
Thank you, Karen!
Beautiful capture of this wonderful season!🎃
Thank you!
Beautiful color, now, if I didn’t have to pull it out in so many places. 🙂 Nice header shot.
Thank you, Judy. I use it as a ground cover in open places. Luckily, it doesn’t kill its host like bittersweet does. That one is my nemesis!
Another beautiful note for fall.
Thank you, Laurie. The season has arrived!
Lovely sign of autumn’s arrival. 🍂
It is, I love this vine!
The bark is interesting. A strong-willed vine…and good to know the difference between this one and poison ivy!! ( many don’t!)
I liked the contrast of the dark cherry bark with the red/orange creeper. Yes, important to tell the difference between it and PI. A distinction I learned early in life!
Fall is in the air! I’m seeing the maples start to color in the mountains and soon enough the virginia creeper here in the garden will follow your lead.
It is! VC seems to be peaking here right now, loads of red drape everywhere… such a lovely vine that plays well with others. 🙂
Welcome, Autumn!
Yes!
So beautiful! Being 96 here yesterday, ours haven’t changed yet.
Thanks, Gary. 96! We won’t be seeing those temps for a long while. Chilly and breezy here today, very autumnal.
Love the fall color. Believe it or not that grows wild here too..though it never really looks like that.
Thank you. It is a plant that has found its way around the world. I’ve seen it in UK, Europe and even S.Africa. At least it is a charming guest!
Elegant photo, Eliza. Somehow you captured the surrender of summer here.
Thank you, Jet. Summer has definitely given way to fall. Very chilly today!
Nice colors! This plant grows like a weed in Michigan, very fast!
Thanks, John. Yes, it does, but I don’t begrudge it, at least it stays manageable, not like that cursed bittersweet!
It’s easy to control, grab your machete and get chopping!
😀
Yes, those fall colors are on the way. I love them!
It is a beautiful time of year for sure!
Very nice Eliza! Very colorful!
Thanks, Reed!
I grow Virginia Creeper, too, but mine has never looked like that! Mine will be a mauve color, but not until November. Lovely photo, Eliza.
Thank you, Tina. It is surprising how far and wide it is grown. A great native, IMO.
Oooh, pretty!! Love the way the sun makes its color pop!
Thank you, Debbie!
Looking very autumnal
Yes, the cool nights are working their magic!
🙂
So pretty!
Thank you!
I saw some today, but it’s still wearing green. In time we may get some color, especially if we have rain and a quick drop in temperatures. I’m thinking November!
The vines here get fire-engine red, quite stunning to see. You’re still probably getting summer temps, right?
We sure are — although we did hit 68F for a low last night!
Beautiful fall color – already!
Thank you, Kris. Yes, many trees are heading into peak color this week. Very pretty this year, nice clear colors.
Big sigh…. autumn is coming! The bark of the tree is so beautiful contrasting with the bright leaf. 😃
Thank you, Cathy. Yes, the double-edged sword, end of gardening vs. the beauty of autumn. 🍁
Lovely! 😊
Thank you!
Now that’s a native species we share, even as far apart as Texas and Massachusetts. One is currently creeping up a tree in our back yard.
It has become quite worldly, I’ve had reports of it from UK, Europe and even South Africa!
All my invasives ae looking so lovely lol and the birds are eating them up!
At least Virginia creeper is a native, unlike that dreadful bittersweet, a curse upon my land!
Yes, Creeper is OK, but I have all the others along the river the state floods on numerous occasions. I had worked so hard on 3 spots but with all these months immobile looks like I never touched it. The woman who owned my place before me bought all her plants from the state and are now all invasive.
Beautiful shot. ❤️
Thank you, Bela!
As always . . .just beautiful. I can only love this vine in autumn. . . and climbing. It is a pest in my flowers, but I fall for it every autumn!
i
Yes, it needs a bit of herding, for sure. But oh, that fall color!
Welcome autumn. Such pretty colors.
Thank you, Jane, we are having a banner year here, peaking this week. Hasn’t been this good in ages.
Often the first sign of autumn. A bit troublesome though. Some was near our wood chip pile, spread into it, and for the longest time I had to remove the roots each time I filled the wheelbarrow so to not spread it into the gardens. Beautiful but aggressive. We ended up having the old pile removed and a new one created when a pine tree was taken down.
Yes, I hear you. We have lots of wild land, so it isn’t as annoying as in a smaller yard. It’s fall color is amazing however!
Lovely frame.
Thank you, Rupali!
Nice composition! This vine is so pretty in the fall. I have seen it red too.
Thank you, Denise! This one was just beginning to turn. The more sun they get, the more vibrant a red, bordering on purple. A lovely vine!
