A close up of a pine tree branch.
I love the smell of real pine and crushed pine needles. Did you know you can make a tea out of pine needles? It has an interesting taste!
Autumn Milkweed
I don’t know why but I enjoy seeing how plants change once cool weather arrives. Cat tails and Milkweed puff out and their seeds blow through fields and meadows, flowers turn to seed heads and of course, the leaves on the trees change from green to red, orange, gold and yellow.
While we may regret the loss of summer, Autumn can be a beautiful time of year if we just take a moment to enjoy it.
The Elephants?
Here in Toronto, right by the Don Valley Parkway in Taylor Creek Park there are these huge natural water filtration devices. I’ve always thought that they look a little bit like elephants.
My husband was talking with one of our neighbors earlier today and someone they started talking about these filters. He calls them the “Teeth” and I guess they do look like big teeth too, don’t they?
A rose so sweet – it’s scent heavenly
Compte de Chambord, was there ever another rose with such a heavenly scent?
Some of my roses are still blooming away at this late date. I suspect that the Compte de Chambord rose bud pictured above is one of the last that this rose will produce this year, but I could be wrong. Either way it’s a lovely rose bud isn’t it and oh it smells … so beautiful with it’s rich rose perfume.
I took this photo on a windy day in lat October. I believe I was holding the rose stem to keep it still as I snapped the shot which of course is why the background has an interesting blurred effect – the foliage of the other plants near the rose were blowing in the wind.
