If asked, I would have guessed coleus leaves would all have been too thick to work like this.

...I know, Debsgarden, it tempted me too! Thank you.<br /><br />Thanks, dear Shady. You are always so kind :)<br /><br />Welcome Potager (Linda) and thank you for your lovely comment. It has been a joy connecting and have added your clever/artistic site to my other wonderful 'Garden Haunts'.<br /><br />Colelus are all so stunning, Eileen, I too want them all!<br /><br />Thanks, Tina. Again, happy 3rd Blogging Anniversary :) You have made me stop and think since I've never celebrated mine and just realized, it's almost 4!<br /><br />How sweet, dear Kanak. It's amazing to see the wonderful patterns in nature and why I so love macro photography.<br /><br />Welcome Karen and thank you. I too love stained glass, owning several lamps and a series of antique windows from England in the lower level English Pub. Wish I had camera near at the wedding last Sat at beautiful/historic St. Joseph church (Detroit). Amazing windows!<br /><br />Thank you, dearest Edith. With the advent of fall, I have been a bit consumed with the waning light and shorter days so it was a joy to capture the remains of one of the last lovely summer days. All just came together in quiet alone time.<br /><br />Thanks Kiki ... happy dazzling autumn!joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-88456358985288299722010-09-20T10:42:05.315-04:002010-09-20T10:42:05.315-04:00Gorgeous post Joey..and i love all the photos..daz...Gorgeous post Joey..and i love all the photos..dazzling!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280128561139519596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-86687021191771633492010-09-20T10:24:18.045-04:002010-09-20T10:24:18.045-04:00Dearest Joey, How perfectly you have captured the ...Dearest Joey, How perfectly you have captured the light shining through the Coleus and how clever to match it with such a wonderful quotation.

You definitely do have an eye for photography. 'Chocolate Mint'....wow, where was that one hiding when I bought coleus this spring? The name alone is so tempting. The reminder to bring some coleus cuttings in is very good; the trouble is I run out of space to keep them all winter. <br /><br />Wonderful post!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-20896147420116486942010-09-20T08:48:28.298-04:002010-09-20T08:48:28.298-04:00When your page loaded, I actually thought I was lo...When your page loaded, I actually thought I was looking at a picture of a stained glass window!
