Autumn is in the air

Although the weather seems to be clinging to summer, there's the feel of autumn in the air.  Days are getting shorter, the heat kicks on in the morning, leaves are changing colors and falling in drifts on the lawn.  I like this time of year - hope it lasts for a while.

Geraniums in the winder.... :)

Halloween is next week.

One last huzzah from the roses.

Back to the routine

Sorry to be gone so long.  September was very busy, full of holidays and events and other things that seemed to get in the way of sitting down and posting to the blog.  I hope your September was as nice as mine.

Here are some photos from a walk I took this afternoon.  The weather was great today - sunny, breezy, not too warm.  Some plants are still blooming while others are turning colors for the coming autumn.  And a contented kitty finds a comfortable spot for a little catnap.  Enjoy.

Wedding in Montreal

I was in Montreal a couple of weeks ago for my niece's wedding.  I'd never been there in summer - it was amazing to see everything green and the weather so warm.

Here are some photos from both the wedding and just hanging around the house.  A majority of the ones I selected ended up being of kids (children of my nieces and nephews!) - they seem to do such cute and creative things :)

Hope you enjoy them!

Farmers markets, clouds, flying saucers (?) and art

This week is a mix of photos from the past couple of weeks.  There's a startling sky, a trip to the Hollywood Farmers Market, a photo of a building that looks like it's coming in for a landing, a couple of illustrative photos I took to contribute to my shul's holiday newsletter and a new arrangement of my calligraphy work that I've finally framed.
Enjoy.
