First Day of Autumn

Today is the first day of autumn so unfortunately, summer is officially over. It’s also a Monday though and because of that I hope these late summer scenes ease you through yet another weekly start.

A warm beach …

… a pretty tea rose …

… a transitioning hydrangea …

… and a sunny lake.

I hope your day goes well – happy autumn!

Grasses

Although in the northern hemisphere many of the flowers are beginning to fade, there are so many interesting grasses now coming into their own.

There is a multitude of them …

… in so many shapes and sizes …

… and colours, too …

… so varied and pretty …

… as they go to seed in all their frondy, wispy glory.

Happy Sunday.

September 19’s Friday Fleurday

Today’s fleurday has a visitor.

I saw this lovely dragonfly – technically, a blue-eyed darner – resting on one of the impatiens flowers hanging above our deck. I was very happy to see it because we have had a huge crop of spiders this year and dragonflies love to invite them for lunch!

This one seemed to be drowsing in the warmth of the sun; it rested there for about an hour before flying away on those transparently beautiful, gossamer wings; they’re so delicate looking but extremely strong.

I love the impatiens flowers but I love even more the fact that the dragonfly stopped for a little rest in my deck garden.

Happy Friday.
