Rosy Leaf, Pretty Purple, Autumn Shopping, A Bird and Deer Capture

 Time is marching on whether we like it or not. I would love to have this jigsaw puzzle as we usually have a puzzle set up to work on in those odd moments; for me, while waiting for the potatoes to boil or some such. The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady- Autumn, 1000 piece. That link is where I found the best price.

 The property is taking on a look of early autumn. Walking Neddy early morning and it is cool enough to need a light jacket or warm sweater. He's impatient as I take the time to photograph the above leaf whose rosy colours attracted me. 
The nights have been cooling down but the days have been warm so many of the growing things are still thriving.

The lavender has had a beautiful purple regrowth. I have two patches and they smell so nice.

The chunky looking Sedum continues to brighten up flower beds.
The humidity of the summer encouraged fabulous Indian Pipe growth.
Both sides of the path in this part of the trail were lined- almost magical.
 Sighting these beautiful birds with their striking features is always a thrill.  Finally I managed a decent photograph one day down by the pond. Cedar Waxwings
Glancing out the kitchen window I caught sight of this young one. No doubt the rest of the family had already passed by. Much bigger than the last time I saw him. They are as watchful as they are beautiful. One of my blogging friends said you can distinguish each one by the pattern of the white dots on their hide.
Yes and now this season is upon us. Here in the northern hemisphere, a season of cooling down, winds, leaves changing colours, and lately, overhead, Canada Geese honking their way south. 

  I just love this time of year. Do you?

  2. Wow, I never heard of this Indian pipe, so very interesting! Early mornings are the best, so peaceful. That dark-leaved Sedum is beautiful, it has disappeared from my garden, don't know why. Enjoy the autumn walks with your cute dog.

  3. Hello,
    I am enjoying the cooler weather now, we had too many hot and humid days. The fawn is so pretty, love seeing their spots. The Cedar Waxwings are beautiful birds, I saw a flock of them today during my walk. I like finding the mushrooms and the Indian Pipe does look fabulous. Neddy is growing fast, he reminds me of my old Chocolate Lab. They love going on walks. The sedum and lavender are both beautiful. Lovely post. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
