GardenNess: Monday In Bloom

It was pretty lovely Sunday when I went out to take pictures! These days are so rare now, and I can’t believe how lovely it is for November! Thanks, Lord, I’ll take it! There was barely a cloud in the sky, the air was fairly crisp, and it felt wonderful.

I can’t believe I forgot to take my “corner” shot! I would have run back out to take it Sunday, but because of the time change, it was already nighttime. I almost forgot it again on Monday! I got it just as the sun was setting and dusk was hovering. Barely made it! It still looks like a night shot I guess, but at least I got it in. I think I’ll be throwing away my much loved little garden lights at the end of this season. I got them last year, but now most of them no longer work, and their pretty colors are all faded.

The side patch is thinning. Still vibrant, just a much thinner vibrancy, lol.

I couldn’t resist this image of some shrubs on a neighboring building. Not my garden, but close enough.

The purple Sweet Alyssum are just bursting right now. Probably the cooler even temps we’ve been having. Whatever the case, I’m in love, lol. The colors are awesome, the smell is epic – what more could a gardener ask for?

Snappies! Yay!

The potato vine has really flowered quite a bit lately. I think it’s doing it’s best to go to seed. The colors are amazing to see.

More blooms on the mums, yay!

The Artemisia is going to sleep. The center of it is turning gray and dying off, so the rest surely won’t be far behind.

The speedwell looks positively lush! I’m thinking it really likes Autumn.

The lavender seems to be thriving with the cooler temperatures, too.

Look! It IS going to get some more flowers on it!

Across the way is this tree, and when I looked up, only the tips of it were changing color, like someone had dipped the top of it in some paint like a giant paintbrush. The light was changing fast as I was trying to get a decent shot in.
