We Are Having A Lovely Fall

Another of my photographs from last Sunday morning. My friend has landscaped her property so beautifully, hasn't she?

I'm off to an office meeting and open house tours. Be back later.

More of Yesterday's Fall Photographs




The oak leaf hydrangea foliage is a brilliant burnt orange, the hostas are bright yellow with green stems and veins, and the English ivy is multicolored.

Fifth Avenue Terrace in NYC

The views overlooking Central Park must be beautiful this time of year and it's warm enough to sit outside today. Simple and beautiful or simply beautiful.

Nice Stonework

I love the landscaping and stonework in front of this home. I especially like the decorative element in the pavers replicating an antique stone mill wheel. They are so very expensive and this pattern really works.

Have a great week.

Barter Books in Britain


Have you ever been to Barter Books in Alnwick England? I have not but it's on my list of places to visit if I ever set foot in the UK again. It looks like my kind of place billed as one of the largest secondhand bookshops in Britain.

Fall Hydrangeas and a Bluebird


I think hydrangeas have to be one of the best landscaping plants around. They just keep on giving from spring right through the fall. I wish I could say they were mine but they aren't. They belong to a friend. I photographed them this morning after feeding and walking her dogs.

I will claim total ownership of this bluebird that was one of many flying around the cottage earlier this morning. I hope it's one of the youngsters born here his spring. These birds never fail to thrill me. He was all puffed up with pride about his beauty. Isn't that color spectacular?
