Penticton’s rose garden was still blooming just before we left for our holiday.
Not long after I took these photos, the gardeners did an autumn trim on all the other flowers and then followed up with the roses.
It’s lovely to have such gorgeous flowers blooming so late in the season, but they eventually had to be bedded down for their winter rest.
They will soon be back.
Happy Saturday.
A water garden …
… is lovely to behold during the day …
… but a few lights make an exotic and dramatic difference at night.
Happy Friday.

Happy Thursday.
The sky here in the Caribbean is bright blue and contrasts intensely with the lush green of the trees.
Night descends quickly and firmly; twilight doesn’t last long.
Sometimes it catches a fritillary butterfly unawares, seized in the efficient arrival of a confusing artificial light.

This is a beautiful set of photos from Radelnder uHu taken in the border area of Germany and Czech Republic. Lutz has many dramatic landscape photos on his blog.
M and I are in the sunny Caribbean where we are enjoying ocean beaches, warm weather and relaxation.
Lots of swimming and walking beckon.
Happy Tuesday.
There are still some green leaves about, but their numbers are dwindling.
By the time I post this, these trees will be mostly bare. Autumn graces us with its stunningly colourful beauty for only a short time.
Happy Monday.
My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world. Maybe they’ll encourage viewers to help save it from human carelessness. As I rarely …

A beautiful autumn path in Stuart’s Forest of Dean.
I enjoyed watching these cloud layers unfold themselves.
Capricious and swirling, they were never the same from one moment to the next, a sometimes very human characteristic.
Given the frequency with which we describe weather as moody, angry or brilliant, we should perhaps change how our weather forecasts are expressed: “wear your coat, it’s angry today” or “bring along the sunscreen; it’s brilliant today.”
Might be a problem for Environment Canada, though.
Happy Sunday.
