Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~

Last of the Garden~



Last of the garden flowers.  
Today is going to be another October 80' temperature day and then....the bottom falls out, according to the weather person.  
So with this post I bid farewell to these beauties and look forward to viewing them when they arrive in the gardens once again~

 
 
 
 


Many of my flower images are taken across the lane in Mona's garden.  
She has recently lost 2 siblings and so I am dedicating this post to her family~
 


 Can you see the little Eastern Cottontail;')~  
It thought it was in good hiding from me and guess what it was and there were 2 others near by, that I could barely see at all~


Autumn's fruit begins to ripen and that means very soon the Waxwings shall arrive...yeah~


 Last season the corn stalks rose above this trumpet vines, and this years thousands of acres barely made it this height~


 I had the husby turn around so that I could get these images of Tobacco plants at sunset~
 


 I adore visiting Henry's Ark to check on the Wood Ducks and other creatures that have a home there~

  10. We're heading towards summer downunder - and I'm looking forward to that about as much as you're looking forward to winter!! But looking at your marvellous photos shows me what it'll all be like in about 6 months time!

  11. I got a real feeling of warm, autumn sunshine there Mary with your lovely mosaics and photos. I too like the shot with the bicycle - very creative. It's suddenly gone very cold here - 2 or 3 degrees today and no good at all. Enjoy the sun while you can and have a great weekend.
