Amaranth in Fall

During summer the amaranth was stunning ~
you can see my post from the summer here.

This amaranth is still growing and looking nice,

I think because I planted it in a partly shady area
it didn't get large and maybe it is slightly protected
as the amaranth in the garden doesn't look so wonderful.

The amaranth in the garden was stunning (I said that already)

and now it still retains some of it's former glory, it is faded.

Do you see the squash leaves laying around, all damp 

looking from the frost - I kind of like the contrast.
