And so the first truly greige day of the Scrag End of Summer has arrived. By coincidence this colour chart popped up on Facebook yesterday. The first time I have seen the word greige on a colour chart.

I quite like Scrag End of Summer as it softly blends into Autumn.

Not that I am declaring summer over, just being realistic about the arrival of greige while hoping for a heatwave.

This leaf was photographed on just such a day in September, last year. I was just returning from an impromptu swim and this leaf floated down onto a paving slab that had feint orange markings. Serendipity at its arty best.
