I found this pretty flower bed in a park in Kelowna in early October.
Very ordinary flowers but lovely and fresh.
The ordinary things are often the best things.

A lovely plant with beautifully contrasting colours.
Bright Spots
We have had some lovely weather recently; sunny with temperatures between 5 and 10C (50F). That’s pretty good for the subarctic in mid-October.
Although it is gradually getting colder, we are having a slow, gentle autumn. There are even a few bright patches of colour left.
Have a good Sunday. 🙂
A Friday Sunflower
From a Penticton garden …
… a concentration of sunny summer goodness in a few square centimetres.
And you can even eat the seeds!
Happy Friday. 🙂
United Colours of Autumn
An amber and green maple tree.
One of the last red roses.
Pink and green and yellow around a pond.
There’s a lingering warmth in the air but there are also constant, powerful reminders of what is to come.
October Tea Roses
I found some tea roses still blooming in their cheery pink.
They won’t last much longer now, but it was lovely to see them still rosing along.
Having spent a week in Penticton, I am now back in the north. There aren’t any leftover roses here, as it’s too chilly in October!
It was really great to experience some gentler autumn weather for a little bit, though.
Yellow Chrysanthemums
Among all the other lovely autumn colours, I found these chrysanthemums, still bright and pretty.
Aren’t they great?
Happy Wednesday.
Autumn Wildflowers
Autumn wildflowers are such beautiful additions to the fall colour palette.
I think these may be a type of aster. They are definitely almost finished for the year, but they added their unique beauty to all of the colours we are experiencing right now.
Happy Friday. 🙂
Autumn Daisies
The last of the daisies are still hanging on and look pretty in spite of the wind and rain and cooler temperatures, especially the developing yellow seed pods.
Good-bye summer, catch you later.
