I didn’t think I would find any more flowers from this year to post for Friday Flowerday but then I spotted some lovely pot marigolds in the kitchen garden next to one of our favourite restaurants. They are edible and were clearly still being used by the chef as I found where some had been cut with shears.
They were such a bright and cheery little group to see at this time of year with their sunny faces.
With all the overcast from the constant rain we’re almost totally dark by 4:00 pm, so these pretty flowers were a delightful and unexpected sight indeed.
I am going to be on hiatus for the next week, but here are a few favourite photos.

Amid all the worries and terrors of this world, it’s important to remember that there are many beauties to love and protect. Here are just a few from my archive.

Please take a look at this marvellous video from my blog friend Wayne who lives, works and communes with his furred and feathered buddies in Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island. It’s amazing!
