I said goodbye recently, but she came back, so think I will wait and see what happens next…
I just hope this doesn’t mean we will get less autumn…

Yes, summer does sometimes pop by for a visit in autumn. Nice, but I love fall (autumn), so try to enjoy whatever is happening.

Thanks, Annika! Well, it is the “official” end of summer, but sometimes it lingers or comes back for a day or two.

I’ll say good bye if I must. Sigh. I love your sunflower photo. (So much better than stock sunflower photos.)

Thanks, Liz. I’m not much of a photographer, but this one had a special quality (maybe the blue sky through the trees, and the clothesline…)

Very pretty. What sorts of things will you be photographing once all of the flowers fade away for the year?

Thanks, Lydia. There are lots of plants coming into bloom still — asters, nerines, autumn crocuses, etc. Then there’s fall foliage, bare trees against the sky, mossy rocks. And snowdrops start to bloom around Christmas!

This gorgeous picture reminds me of a line from a Beatle’s song. “I”ll follow the sun.” Guess your fall rains have arrived and your garden is enjoying a burst of greening.

Exactly! We’ve had at least 50 mm (2 inches) of rain since mid-September, which has really freshened things up. Sunny days between the rainy ones are perfect for gardening.

Thank you, Roger! I didn’t manage to beaver up a post that said what I wanted it to say, so I thought I would be a silent presence this week.

And Hello Autumn. Although we needn’t celebrate Harvest any longer, the change in light and temperature triggers boosted activity: gather while ye may lest the thy bounty be squandered ‘neath winter’s snows. So, I welcome the change and lift a stein to Ceres, and savor the aromas of baking bread and roasting tubers. I drink to Demeter who, if ancient rituals have pleased, will bless us with a burgeoning cornucopia cast in rich disarray upon our table.

Thanks for the image. “Rich disarray,” indeed. I raise a glass to that!

Still pretty nice here, Wayne. We’ve had about 60mm of rain since the middle of September, which is nice. Have to cut the grass again, though. So I guess “storm watching” season is starting up where you are?
