Watery Wednesday

We have been getting a lot of rain lately, 

 but these early morning photos of the river have turned out well.

Roses and Broken Glass

The miniature rose bush has another lot of blossoms,

 so I tried combining one of them with the broken glass,

 and a few leaves.

Today's Flowers

I brought the last pumpkin flower home to play with.

And I found some broken glass, and decided to try them together.

I am going to have to keep working with the idea...

Borage

Mallows

The mallow plants in my garden are still producing blossoms.

 I do not remember a year when the first frost has been this late.

Macro Flowers Saturday

 There are still some flowers on the hibiscus plants,

but not all of them are perfect.

Skywatch Friday

The skies have been varied over the course of the week. I never figured out why the mist was so far away from the river that morning,

 but the contrails were amazing.

 The sun gilded the edges of the morning clouds, 

 and the approaching storm  caused such strange clouds over the cattails.

Morning Glories

The morning glories are opening later in the day now.

 I like watching them unfurl.

Roses in the Sky

The roses are blooming bravely,

 

 although the nighttime temperatures 

 are nearing freezing.

Cattails

The cattails in the marsh

 are going to seed.

Or dew.

Egrets

Yesterday morning,

 there were two egrets with the great blue heron

 in the river.

 A neighbour has been seeing them

for a while now, but this is my first sight of them.

Watery Wednesday

This morning, 

the early sun was 

casting golden light 

 onto the river, 

and the mist rising from the water.

Chicory

There is still some chicory blooming

 in the fields.

 This morning,

 it was covered with dew.
