The birch leaves are turning golden while I watch out the window. No hard frost yet, but it's definitely time to photograph the last blossoms and put the garden to bed for the year. New canvasses are in the works, though, and I plan to keep things blooming in paint throughout the winter.Derickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13214083657078286685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757700874747381358.post-38666218327770480662010-08-25T14:40:00.000-07:002010-08-25T14:40:34.435-07:00New Amaryllis<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitfU6QXk7P86syiKDrriNyh1hKNaiex4Q73GBWMMBtLPEGUkHj3bfy9qQMALVq05evP8VaoRPaP8b2l5bhhXirYYUu_9a7Sw4wV54aAHP_mlLdbkt7QJXEQDTXXfKqw4WLDYC3yHb7z7n_/s1600/Amaryllis+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitfU6QXk7P86syiKDrriNyh1hKNaiex4Q73GBWMMBtLPEGUkHj3bfy9qQMALVq05evP8VaoRPaP8b2l5bhhXirYYUu_9a7Sw4wV54aAHP_mlLdbkt7QJXEQDTXXfKqw4WLDYC3yHb7z7n_/s640/Amaryllis+2.jpg" width="432" /></a></div>Derickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13214083657078286685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757700874747381358.post-6107320226030998002010-08-25T12:32:00.000-07:002010-08-25T12:32:26.929-07:00Fall<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDLaprPsAkXrUmZ4ZYt34cVQ0N22_7OL5_gyDrsbOqiUDbo6AdAYd4lkLhDCJemf3xuMfQgrX4YBgdAjOvFEf5xQFBnYe1YA6jIevYBSPVr2_qwJ6if57NxbHJSNI7aNXKZIQkgQvIJr_/s1600/Coreopsis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDLaprPsAkXrUmZ4ZYt34cVQ0N22_7OL5_gyDrsbOqiUDbo6AdAYd4lkLhDCJemf3xuMfQgrX4YBgdAjOvFEf5xQFBnYe1YA6jIevYBSPVr2_qwJ6if57NxbHJSNI7aNXKZIQkgQvIJr_/s400/Coreopsis.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>While the temperatures stay in the 70s, the nights are flirting with freezing in the lowlands.

Hard to believe it was 91 a few days ago when one wakes up to 39. But the garden is bursting forth with poppies and nasturtiums in full bloom, and delphinium too.
