I was thrilled to come across this beauty today...some years I don't see one at all, while other years I might see one in Spring and in Fall!
I was glad to find the first Harris' Three-spot of the season today, as well!
The exquisitely bizarre Harris' Three-spot is always a standout... it's appearance is breathtaking, but that's only half the story... that extension strung from it's head is actually the dry head capsule from it's previous instar molt! This cat uses these capsules as a flail, feverishly bashing threatening predators, like parasitoid wasps, with them in a very effective defense! This young instar will add two more dry heads to it's tether by the final instar! Talk about a REAL head banger...LOL

Head and shoulders above the rest made this one the center of attraction. Fall flowers at their best.
There's a lot of geraniums around the gardens, and I was struck by the way the yellow-orange leaves stood out against the background of their greener kin.

Best way to stand out in a crowd ? Be yourself!
At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
According to the Simply Living website the Mullein is a biennial which is native to Eurasia and North Africa. It was introduced to the Americas in the 1700. It's tall stalk and striking yellow flowers really standout among dry dead grasses along the roadside. Also the Mullein is one of the oldest know medicinal plants which is used for respiratory and skin problems because of it's anti-inflammatory properties. The leaves are made into a tea that is commercially available, but watch out for the seeds because they are poisonous.
The standout foliage on this oak tree won't last much longer.
Two days later: prediction fulfilled; sadly, almost all the leaves had fallen from the tree.
This stunning Floribunda is a standout in the landscape with an array of colors and very healthy foliage. Garden Delight’s multicolored and high-centered buds will open to fully double, cupped blooms. The delightful, yellow center is surrounded by stunning pink to red edges, and the more sunlight it receives the more intensely pink it gets. Her coloring will vary according to climate and she thrives best in zones 5-9.
A Kordes rose, bred by Tim Hermann (Germany, 2001). ... Introduced in Germany by W. Kordes, "Garden Delight" is well-named! This bed is one of the most colourful in the Stanley Park Rose Garden.
This lovely blue Robin's egg stood out against the pine needled floor of my yard. There were at least two pair of Robins nesting nearby my house. (It kind of reminded me of PacMan!😂 Remember?)
A standout variety that produces brilliant pink, perfectly formed blooms, over dark glossy green, healthy foliage; well suited for landscaping, for containers, or a low flowering hedge
Slash’s standout bike is the 2007 Harley-Davidson VRSCDX Night Rod Special—a liquid-cooled street-legal dragster. Its Revolution V-Twin 1130 cc engine churns out 121 hp, launching the fat 240 mm rear tire off the line with explosive force. He added custom drag-style bars and forward foot pegs to perfect its “lean, mean” look and feel.
