Sage and Persimmon

I snapped these two photos with my iPhone earlier in the week and I really liked the deep Fall colors in the orange persimmon and green sage. 

The persimmons are courtesy of my mother who can grow almost anything in her tiny New Jersey garden, including a few fig and lemon trees (both trees need to be moved indoors during the winter months).  The drying sage comes via my mother-in-law who was especially excited to show me her collection drying in the basement (the aroma was wonderful!).
