Our favourite small little park to have lunch and watch for deer and listen for birds. The leaves have fallen, the migrating birds fled the cold, leaving the deer to enjoy not having to dig through the snow to find their meals. Watch for the deer.

again with the waiting
Another cactus blooms
Another cutting starts to send out roots
Another season waiting for the bulb to expend its energy to bless us with flowers
Waiting, the gardener’s life

While waiting for the rain to turn to snow
The cacti are flowering. White one’s flowers opening first.

One small act of kindness
Saved a lady bug
Tomorrow
Who knows what small act of kindness
Will change the world for better
One small intentional act
Is a start

Waiting for the sunshine

Oak Hammock Marsh
Just north of the city
Vast landscape of marsh land
Where wildlife that appreciates water
Thrive, though few were found today
Light and shadows and wind
Made for interesting viewing

Light highlights, showcasing

Thankful that the extended warm weather allowed this lovely morning glory to bloom. Summer long wait.

Thankful for warmer weather this week as it allowed the Mandevilla to bloom on the vines that climbed the trellis. They climbed and climbed, so glad they got to bloom.

Early in the morning
On the seventh day of the week
They went to the garden . . .

They sat and watched the clouds morph by strong winds
One never knows what shapes will emerge
Today I swear I saw Old Man Wind blowing the clouds along
(See last photo. Can you see him too?)

While the sun’s warmth still was favourable
Autumn clean up began
Some plants were given a reprieve for another day
While those needing prepping for drying of roots, fell
As the bees and wasps were hectically gathering nectar

Water pebbles
On the grass,
Now too wet to mow for the last time this year
On the canas
Waiting to be lifted and stored til spring
On the sedum
Where bees and wasps will drink their fill
On the eucalyptus
Waiting to dry and be brought inside
Water
Sustainer and life source

Birds of a feather
Flock together
Quenching their thirst
At my water fountain.

Above our heads the pileated woodpecker called
Below the thistle seeds erupt
Waiting for the wind to carry them to fertile ground
A beautiful day for a walk
