The Sedum and other flowers that I grow in my garden are beginning to fade away as Autumn brings cooler weather, but a few weeks ago, many of my garden plants were still in bloom.
The photo above is a picture of the Sedum that I grow in my front yard. I love it’s multi-coloured tiny pink flowers with their white highlights.
As I said the sedum are fading away now, but I usually leave them in the garden through winter as they look nice dried – even when they are partially covered in snow.
This is a photo of a white Cosmo flower growing in front of my house in my planted boulevard.
The cosmos came up on their own this year. Growing almost like wild flowers in the empty spaces in the garden bed. They looked lovely amid the tall sunflowers, peonies, daylilies and Siberian Irises.
Looking at this photo you could almost imagine that it’s in a field of wild flowers couldn’t you, rather than in a planted urban garden?
I think I’m avoiding winter. Notice that I haven’t posted one winter related photo … all the recent photos have been autumn related? It’s not like you can ignore a season like winter – not with all the snow we’ve had, but I’m doing my best, at least on this blog!
Again, this is a photograph of a local park that we take our dog to so that she can burn off some of that extra energy she has. She loves it and so do we, I mean, look how pretty it is, even in autumn?
Ok, I’ll try to take some winter photos … won’t be pretty though, especially since we’ve had a “warm” spell and the snows melting and everything is puddles and mud! But I’ll try.
I can’t believe I haven’t taken any winter pictures yet! It’s just been too cold here in Toronto most of this month to get outside and take some pictures of falling snow, snow covered trees or plants, icicles or any of the things that make winter pretty.
So instead I’m posting photos that I took in November … of my dog! LOL Hey, it was lovely in the park with the tree’s leaves and field grasses changing to rich yellow, gold and red colors.
Luckily when our dog is off leash she only goes about 100 yards ahead of us and then she stops and looks back at us like “hey you guys are slow, hurry up and get up here!” or else she’ll run back towards us before running on ahead again.
In this photo she’s doing her look back at us, probably wondering why we can’t keep up to her!
