Autumn... Through my lens.

September has been an exceptional month so far. 

It's reaffirmed to me that it is one of my favourite months.

Here are some autumnal photographs...

This was my view this morning... not all Mondays mornings are bad.

It's certainly crisp and fresh first thing, with temperatures dropping to 0 degrees overnight, but at least the day's are bright and full of sunlight.

Here's Muffy checking out one particular patch in our garden that's been intriguing her all week. 

I suspect that the fox (which we saw in the back field yesterday) has visited us.

You can just see Madame Muffy's back end sticking out of the shrubs, as she tentatively takes up the trail. 

Each year I love to see the Virginia Creeper change colour... I'm never disappointed.

It certainly brightens up the garage wall.

I was going to put out a warning on this next photo, but there's no spider in sight so I thought it would be okay... which makes me wonder where it might be?

This was the sight that greeted me as I opened the back door this morning, but thankfully I'm vertically challenged and wasn't tall enough for it to swipe across my face. Ugh!

(Funny I've never been thankful for being short before) 

Someone's certainly been busy overnight.

I believe September really is the spider month, because it's amazing how many cobwebs can appear even when you've swept through with the hoover nozzle, or feather duster.

(Honest I do make a gesture now and then)

Because the weather has been so brilliant it's obviously affected the plants and wildlife in the garden.

Here's a sample of some of the plants and grasses that I picked for an autumn display.

Anyone that knows me knows that I love to pick flowers from outside and bring them in to fully appreciate their loveliness.

Although having hubby send off for an offer for some spring bulbs took me to the limit this week.

I use the term 'some' bulbs loosely because when the boxes arrived there were a variety amounting to 800 in total. 

I'm still not through planting them all yet. 

I think I've got four more packets still to plant and I'm telling you now that if they don't all appear in spring... you'll hear about it! 

I normally take down my summer hanging baskets by now, but I just can't when they are still flowering so well. 

The winter display will have to wait.

The photo below shows Aberdeen once again, but this time from a different location.

It's still not clear, but I liked it.

...and finally because I'm aware that this post is getting rather long and I could go on with autumn photos... 

One sight and sound that confirms that Autumn has definitely arrived, is the departure of the geese flying south for the winter.

Hearing and seeing them makes me slightly melancholy, but I know that they'll be back and what a sight that will be.

I'm going to link up with a few blogs for this post... I'd love you to take a peek at them. 

I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
