This is growing in between two rocks of a low stone retaining wall.
If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.

I though that blue plant was flax (linum?) at first, but I see it is veronica. Neither are great plants for me. It’s very pretty!
I do also have Linum perenne (blue flax), growing nearby, in fact. But it is a much larger flower (somewhere between a nickel and a dime; the veronica tops out at the size of a pea) and the flowers fade by noon, so I often forget to take pictures of it.
