The garden: Month of September

Well I still haven't gotten to my craft room yet, but since the beginning of Spring I couldn't help but start taking pics as nature did "its thing". There is always beauty to be found somewhere in the garden, and I love to go venturing around and taking photos.

While it's warming up fast here, others are cooling down. Here are some of my favourite snippets of colour, and vitality from Mother Earth.

Succulents in bud

nasturtiums, which the bees love

and orange blossoms,

johnny-jump-ups...

and after a shower of rain, the larger droplet to the left I can see reflections of the others.

freesias under the lime tree

and a dendrobium that I'd bought indoors for a few days .

Lastly, one of the colourful kalanchoes.

    Oh, my! Your photos are just fabulous, Carole. Just amazing. I love the Johnny Jump-up with the reflection in the water droplet. Are you using a macro lens? So lovely. Thanks for sharing!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
