I see your True colors

As the growing and blooming season comes to a close, we are really starting to see the 'True Colors" coming through, like this Burning bush (Euonymus alata.)

The Autumn Joy (Sedum) is in it's full glory, and the heads on the ornamental fountain grass (Pennisetum villosum) sway in the cool fall breeze.

The Snowdrift Crabapple (Malus 'Snowdrift') is heavy with fruit, being eaten with delight by the flocks of Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum.) How many can you spot in the picture?

Here in the LipsYard on the Left, the True Colors represent the consequences of a Republican agenda, without oversight, coming to light; especially the little crabapples, each portraying it's own scandal; 'Iraq,' 'Rep. Foley,' 'Speaker Hastert,' 'global warming,' 'skyrocketing National debt,' 'Abramoff,' 'tax cuts for the rich,' 'Gitmo,' etc... and the Cedar Waxwings? They're American's, hungry for a change in November.
