I love the colour range on these leaves #autumn #nature

It's #caturday again, where does the time go? I'm not really sure what he was thinking here, probably wanted my food, definitely focused on something😅
Image of a grey shorthair cat, sitting in front of the TV, not sure if he was giving me the stink eye here or what, probably wanted my food, maybe he was just being cute, idk.

Interestingly they manage to spell "Powder" wrong but get "pearlescent" right🤔
Image of three pots of pearlescent mica pigment, sitting on a grey work mat. On the lid of the pigment the word "Powder" is incorrectly spelt "Prowder", this applies to all of the colour range.

Initially I couldn't figure out what was wrong with this image, it's for fingerless gloves, right, right?
A christmas themed sales image, taken off of the internet, three fingerless gloves, with the fingers in the gloves, not attached to an arm or body, leaning up against some red wrapped Christmas gifts.

I sneakily took a pic for #caturday, he's tricky this one, doesn't like internet publicity. We were in the middle of a game of fetch, there are many, many, meece around this house, mainly under beds, the couch, and appliances.
An image of a grey cat, looking at the camera, his toy mouse is on the floor, he's alert and waiting for me to throw the toy. He's actually becoming a superb example of a dog-cat, fetch is now a daily thing, as is following me around and sleeping at my feet.

Just when I thought the colours were fading this rose develops buds and flowers, I've also seen buds on a red rose #flowers #photography
An image of four yellow roses, all blooming within close proximity of each other. They have an amazing fragrance these roses. The background is out of focus darkened foliage.

I've not done #caturday in ages, a lot of snoozing going on today.

I think i took this using a canon powershot about fifteen years ago. It might have been the Manchester to London Victoria train, idk, I remember the rail police being on the train.
A black and white image taken on a train, the window table is shown, a persons arm, a reflection in the window, a bottle of Jack Daniels sits on the table.

I'm fascinated by colour shifting pigments, this is the same pendant from different angles.
Image of an oval pendant, on a white background, the colour is sort of purple, with some black. Image of an oval pendant, on a white background, the colour is black, sort of glittery on one side. Image of an oval pendant, on a white background, the colour is sort of emerald green metallic.

This is probably the last of the roses this year, the storm currently blowing will most likely take this #flowers #photography

Cardoons are weird looking, it's the spiky purple hair. According to the interweb parts of them are edible #flowers #photography
Image of a cardoon, a herbaceous perennial related to the artichoke. The body of the plant head looks like an artichoke, atop this is what looks like purple hair, spiky hair. In the background is out of focus foliage.

Beautiful hybrid rose, I've masked out all of the junk in the background #flowers #photography
Image of a beautiful cream and pink hybrid rose. I think the roses out now are probably the last for this year. I've swapped out the background due to junk and my feet.

I found some old coins, also war medals, whilst looking for batteries. I have five drawers of junk I've accumulated, no clue what's in there. This heavy beast has Winston Churchill on it.
Image of an old silver coin, the face is worn, has a picture of Winston Churchill on it. The other side says Elizabeth II, 1965, something, something. It's on a wooden surface.

This young lady is in my garden every day, has figured out when I feed my cats and now shows up too. I'm one of the few people who's not turned their garden into concrete hell, so maybe that's the attraction, there's living things here, and they're all welcome #caturday
Image of a black cat, sitting on a paving slab, outside, there's some foliage in the background

It's windy today I suspect most of these flower heads will be blown away. I think we're due some rain, I sure hope we get it #flowers #photography
Image of a peach/orange/red coloured rose, other flower heads in the background. I've noticed with these that the red comes out more and then they drop. Various trees and foliage in the background.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this Sky News headline this morning. Not sure what happened to the "huge wife" is everything under control now?
A screen capture from my phone, today. A Sky News headline reads "Huge wife breaks out at Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat"

Oh yeah, here we go, the small amount of rain has made quite the difference. I love watching plants go through the growing cycle #plants #gardening
Image of tomato plants, a good amount unripe and a few ready to pick. Yes, I know they're not beautiful flowers, I can't eat most flowers though. The rain has made such a difference, hah, who would have thought.

This cutie stops by most days, my cats wait by the door #caturday
Image of a female, black cat, standing on a paved floor, the background is blurry. The cat has striking golden eyes, is generally very cute, and dainty. She's actually been living in and around my garden for about two years now. If she has a home she's away most of the time, has an interesting relationship with my cats, they're sort of friends, look out for each other.

I had way more tomatoes last year, not sure if it's the really dry weather or what. The compost seems to be pretty awful, does not retain moisture, it's all like this now #plants
Image of foliage, you can see both green and red tomatoes inside the plants, there's a white wall in the background and some other random plants. I'm probably going to eat the ripe ones today.

I'm loving watching the lavender, it's alive with bees, of all varieties #pollinators #photography

I think they have agents, here's a pic of one, can you see how a goose would be hypnotized?

Aaaagh, I can't even spell #invertebrate right anymore, the shame of it. I've literally written this word thousands of times. It just hit me like a bolt of lightning this morning when I looked at my computer. Anyway, I have plenty of these (speckled wood) beauties in my fruit trees #photography
Image of a dark brown (speckled wood) butterfly, with beige ringlet and spot markings on the wings. It's sitting on a ripening apple in an apple tree, there are other apples and leaves in the background.
