ReplyDeleteI agree Jason. Brilliant pictures. I loved the spider and the fly!
DeleteAnother superb picture post Roger. I loved 'October at Boundary Cottage', but this one is even better.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more Grant. I can't tell WHAT that little beetle is though!
DeleteWonderful photos, so clear.
ReplyDeleteIt really does illustrate that a picture speaks a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos but the title sends a shiver.
ReplyDeleteI had been teaching about a week and in assembly our headteacher announced that each teacher would sing solo a verse from ATBAB. My verse was "The purple headed mountain". After a couple of false starts I got going only to be stopped and the children asked to identify what I had done! I didn't know but I had apparently transposed the tune down an octave (or something like that) indicating I was a contralto which was why I couldn't hit the high notes and hate singing songs like ATBAB!
I only sing when I am on my own in the car with the radio on. Not only am I out of tune, I never find the right words!
DeleteWhat a wonderful post. I have saxifraga Autumn Tribute and have always thought that the flowers are absolutely beautiful but often overlooked. Your picture shines light on a garden gem!
ReplyDeleteI love the autumn saxifrages Kristy, especially those withe bronzy toned foliage. I think mine are actually in a too open position and especially in spring the young growth gets caught by late frost.
DeleteIsn't this just a great reminder of a wonderful year in the garden? It is too easy to settle into the dormancy of winter!
ReplyDeleteOne of the joys of gardening is that there is always something of beauty to see.
DeleteBeautiful photos I particularly enjoyed the bee and the fungi.
