Now here in the South West of the UK, we have had a strange Summer…as is usual! Today it feels like that first day of Autumn.. although we have well over a month before the offical start. I decided not to be too grumpy about the weather and grabbed my camera for some raindrop photos.
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside–
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown–
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
Robert Louis Stevenson
This time of year, Dahlias really come into their own. Here are a selection from my neighbours garden. Jim is in his late eighties, but spends all day in his garden growing vegetables mainly, but also has a bit of a penchant for dahlias.
Some facts about dahlias :
Single leaf
floated in the wind
gently landed
like a bird on the wing.
Autumn colours
vivid and bright
lit up
in the evenings light.
I have so many pictures of leaves and trees , I decided to just stick to leaves for my entry to Cee’s challenge on her blog ceenphotography.
