Autumnal touches on the patio, from Yahoo Homes’ Flickr group

This scene comes to us from Paradise Restored Landscaping in Portland, Ore., via Yahoo Homes' Flickr group. It's still warm enough in much of the nation to enjoy the outdoors, and this lovely scene -- with its autumnal touches of orange -- feel like an invitation to do just that.

We'd love to see work you've done as well, whether it's to your own home or someone else's. Our Flickr group accepts photo submissions of any home style, any home size, from professionals and amateurs alike, as long as the photos are inspirational and original. Just go here to join and submit: http://yhoo.it/yahoohomesflickr.

Happy weekend!
