We've been living in a cloud over the last three days, so it was such a wonderful sight to see the sun cast it's amazing autumnal light on everything this morning.
All the changing colours of the leaves as they twist and twirl down to the ground on the crisp breeze.
The last of the summer blooms popped with vibrant colours once more...putting one last performance in before they disappear until next year.
Brave bees and butterflies are busy making the most of the day... as did I.
I transplanted many tender plants into pots to bring indoors before the chilly night air shocks their delicate leaves.
I worked until my back reminded me that it was time to call it a day.
There's rain forecast for tomorrow so I'm glad I seized the day and made the most of the beautiful warm sunshine.
I'm linking up with My Sunday Photo over at Photalife.com
Have a great weekend and thanks for popping over to my place.
Grab each sunny day you can, they can be warm at this time of year. Colours in this photo look lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good job I did grab it Fiona because today we're back to mizzle! Ho hum...here we go again! Enjoy your Sunday
DeleteHi Neesie - I can feel the frenetic energy of you, the butterflies and the bees making the most of the last of the summer sunshine. Gorgeous photo. I hope you pulled up ok today!
ReplyDeleteWren x
Nah...here we go again Wren, we're back to mizzle. Thank goodness I washed those windows :/
DeleteMy word, you really did make the most of the day. And why not, such a great garden! #MySUndayPhoto
ReplyDeleteI certainly did John...my back will testify to that! It's a good job I did tick some of the outdoor jobs too because we're back to the usual mizzle again today!
DeleteIt's a lovely time of year, I love the colours in this
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Thanks Darren...it's a snippet of garden and I photographed the hens wandering around and thought it might make a good My Sunday Photo. Thanks for hosting once again.
DeleteHave a great Sunday
It's always nice to make the most of a sunny (or even just rain free) day in Autumn. I do miss gardening x

There's always so much to do here Anne that a volunteer would be very welcome! (hint hint)
DeleteI just pick and choose which job to tackle and my gardening is very weather dependent. I think I'm a fair weather gardener!
Enjoy your Sunday :D
I love the colours, glad you made the most of the sunny day! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteThanks Relentlessly Purple...we've had a few good days but the chilly wind has been reminding us of possible things to come in the next few months.
DeleteA beautiful photo capturing soft light of fall
ReplyDeleteIt caught my attention Carol and I just had to capture it.
DeleteMake the most of the sunny days, that's what I am doing at the moment. Love this composition with the blue in the foreground! :) #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI certainly am making the most of the good days. As for the blue that was heavy rain clouds that later bestowed their gift on us. I'm just thankful that I managed to capture the image and enjoy it.
DeleteWhat a beaut of a day! Your photo is fab. The Folly looks so regal in the background! Love your hydrangeas, daylilies and what we(I) call Fireweed (small spikes red flower). Hope the week ahead offers a few more pretty days. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Nan, we all love the folly with it's cobbled floor and airy feel (no roof and crumbling walls) We call them Crocosmia 'Lucifer'
DeleteThat particular plant has become a little too big for it's boots so I'm thinking of transplanting it to another part of the garden. I've taken smaller cuttings off it last year and they've all taken. This particular one overshadows my delphiniums...which isn't allowed!
Our week has been a mixed bag but we have seen some blue skies and the sun at times, so that'll do.
Hugs back to you
So nice to see a sunny day pic. We've only had lots of cloud and rain this week. It's really turning now isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is turning, we've had such a chilly wind blowing for most of this week. Just a reminder of what might be ahead in the coming months...but I'm hanging on. No thermals yet so that's a good sign!
DeleteThat looks like a great place to explore!
ReplyDeleteIt is Jane, but we know it well...it's actually our garden! (hehe)
DeleteThat pop of blue is gorgeous, thank you for sharing #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteThanks...it was my pleasure to share :D
Deletewhat a lovely photo neesie. are these hydrangeas? such a lovely colour aren't they? we are heading into a hot summer; it was 36C on friday. eek!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are hydrangeas Sherry. These are my favourite, but I have white, light blue that start off lemony then matures to a baby blue, and purple. They're great to pad out any floral arrangement at this time of year.
DeleteI'm keeping an eye on your summer temperatures.
We are 11 degrees today, so will have to be content with that!
a lot of the hydrangeas ar blooming here its a nice show with all the changing colours of the leaves
ReplyDeleteThey can certainly pad out a border or floral arrangement Jennifer. I like to keep some to dry out too.
Deleteours is in a pot or it would take over the front garden, would be pretty but we have a small garden :p
DeleteIsn't that lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2017/10/at-this-bridge.html, Nessie!
My pleasure Sue... our garden is just beginning to shut down for the year and I'll miss it, until spring arrives. I like to capture it so that I can look forward to it's return.
DeleteThanks for hosting and I hope you've had a great week and a fabulous weekend awaits!
The photo does look somewhat ominous! Love how you captured the scene
ReplyDeleteIt did look rather ominous Judee didn't it?
DeleteIn fact, those heavy clouds did in fact decide to off-load on us all afternoon. It just goes to show...seize the moment!
Hope you are enjoying the last bits of summer. Beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteI most certainly am...I'm hanging on for as long as possible!
DeleteStill reasonable temperatures at the moment, but I'm aware that that could change at any moment.
Autumn sunlight is so beautiful and those flowers are very pretty :-)
