Autumn's last hurrah?

Fleeting low sunlight illuminated some of the last vestiges of autumn and, in one case, the promise of the spring to come...

A lattice of burnished beech (Fagus sylvatica) leaves against a cloudless sky
Backlit fluffy seedheads of Miscanthus sinensis 'Flamingo' wafting in the breeze
The rich buttery leaves of Cornus sangnuinea 'Midwinter Fire'
Long-faded flowerheads of Sedum spectabile almost reborn in the sun
Wintergreen Euphorbia x martini biding its time until spring
Persicaria microcephala 'Red Dragon' soon to be cut down by frost?
