Autumn Camellia
This first half of the month of October
is giving us beautiful clear skies and deliciously warm temperatures,
anything between 19 and 24 Celsius.
Vibrant Dahlia
I've been going out for lots of walks,
especially down by the lake and in the country.
The hibiscus down by the lake were in full, glorious bloom.
Taken in Montreux.
Perfection
This bud is still wet from watering.
An American Oak leaf
well and truly caught in the spikes of a bush below the tree.
Fallen from this beautiful Oak Tree where the colours are starting to turn.
Deep blue skies and colourful branches.
This one was taken in my neighbourhood.
I love this garden gate with the geranium flowers coming out to greet the next visitor.
They seem to say: "Welcome, we're expecting you!"
I do my weekly marketing downtown on Saturdays
and this is the latest bouquet I brought home with me.
I do love the mixture of fresh colours.
I hope that you are also having a beautiful month of October
with generous sunshine and clear autumn skies.
El otoño nos brinda unos maravillos colores!! Qué tengas un buen día!!

ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed all these beautiful signs of a gorgeous month of October, Marjan!
DeleteWhat beautiful photography Sandra. I especially like the leaf caught in the grass. Xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sarn. October has been giving us such beautiful days in the first half of the month! I loved that fallen leaf caught in a spiky bush as well!
DeleteIt looks like October is especially sunny and warm in your part of the world, Sandra. We started off that way, too, and it was wonderful, but the latter part of the month will be it's normal cooler, grayer self. Your photos are so gorgeous--love the crispness and beautiful rich colors in each and every one...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week ahead!
Thank you, Carol. Yes, October has been incredibly beautiful and sunny so far. I'm taking full advantage of it all by getting out as much as possible to enjoy nature as it winds gently down.
DeleteI see October has been beautiful for you! I love all the gorgeous flowers you found along your walks. We've had rain, rain, and more rain and when it wasn't raining it was dark and gloomy. That's not great of getting pretty fall colors!
ReplyDeleteYes, October, so far, has been particularly beautiful and warm. I have been out as much as possible, enjoying it all! We desperately need rain, but it just isn't happening yet. It seems there's often too much or not enough of something!
ReplyDeleteWow - so beautiful! And hibiscus in October - that must be unusual!
ReplyDeletethe temperatures have been so mild in this first half of October that many flowers are still blooming including Hibiscus, Camellia and Roses!
DeleteSandra your photos are always so brilliant and striking. Beautifully done :)
ReplyDeleteYou have captured October's last flowers amazingly.
Have a lovely day.
Connie :)
How lovely to have you visit, Connie! The flowers are really doing so well still in this first half of warm October. I know it won't last forever, but I'm lapping up all the beauty while I can!
