It is now exceptionally rare for me to shoot color film. However, who could resist photographing the riot of autumn colors in Belarusian gardens and recording the care and quiet pride each granny invests in her flowers?

Beautiful, John. I’m amazed there are so many flowers this late in the year. When is first frost?
Many thanks. The photo is from September. I chose it in homage to your site. Chrysanthemums are still in bloom in Mjensk. The first frost hit parts of Belarus in mid-October but the weather has been quite mild the past couple of weeks; the forecast is for winter to set in later in November.
Thank you, John. Chrysanthemum season here, too, and in Japan.
