autumn colour treats

ah fall, it's a beautiful time of the year.   full of changing tree colours, sweater usage, and enjoying the last pops of the garden flowers . 

lots of our birds have come back to us again this year.  robins, chickadees, blue jays and lately a lone woodpecker. 
(i'm glad i didn't get rid of my mullen in the front garden just for this very visit.  :u) )
look at his sweet sweet face. 
  
my fall inspired leaf plates. 
enjoy the colour.

until next time...

the travellers are not alone...

newest additions to the traveller line of gnomes ~  the female travellers! 
these little buxom beauties are a perfect companion for the incredibly popular male.

as september rolls in, the gardens start to wind down their colour display and the leaves gear up to start theirs, there is a few little garden treats that are making me smile.  also the amount of hummingbirds i've seen lately is nothing short of magical. 
my butterfly bush is just starting to bloom.  a real treat to watch all the life just outside my studio window.
pink phlox explosion!
my 'obedient' plant. 
 i planted gladiolas the first year i started this section of garden.   i forgot to take them up in the fall that year but every year since a couple come back for a show.  gotta love a flower who fights its own rules.  :uD
my north art coloured begonias.  (just a funny coincidence with randomly packaged bulbs/tubers)

happy september everyone!!
(i know the summer just fleeeeew by!)
 
until next time...
