Fall Flowers

This beautiful fall morning, of 70 degrees with a cool breeze, I have been cleaning out the dead brush in all of my flower beds. Forgetting how many flower beds I have to clean, is something I easily manage to do. I focused on my front yard today by planting some purple, orange and yellow pansies. Pansies add such great color to carry through until Spring. I also added a pretty pink Snapdragon and potted a white mum, which in my opinion...is a perfect Fall flower!


The rich purple color of these sell me every year! I put some in my flower bed walking into the front of my house and also added a small pot by my front door.

Ahhh...Snapdragons. I may have to go get a few more of these...

And...my white Mum! I love it and can't wait for it to be a blanket of white flowers when entering my home!

Nature in the South

It was another absolutely gorgeous, perfect fall weekend here in Alabama. Unfortunately, I spent quite a bit of time behind this computer getting work done but found time to snag a few hours to soak up the days.

Early in the day, I went into my backyard and just took some shots of a few basic things around the patio. I got this cool photo of a fern branch. One that has struggled to come back to life after my many days of neglect last winter.




While on a walk with Kona behind the elementary school down the street, I noticed wildflowers growing all over the place. I decided to walk back over closer to sun down and was able to catch a few of these wild free-growing beauties.
