I know that the Christmas season is here, but taking advantage of the last few days of November, I wanted to share a few remaining flowers of fall.
Putting two favorites of mine together, flowers and now photography...I had fun messing around with filters and textures on these photos I managed to take in early November. It's a snapshot like these that increase our appreciation for something as simple as Sweet Alyssum. It gets its name from the amazing scent of this almost plain flower. A picture can almost help you to "capture" its delicious aroma and revisit the summer again.
Alyssum is a staple flower in my garden and pots. It's not much by itself, but en masse creates a lovely snowscape that often helps to showcase a more flamboyant flower.
and bug-free bouquets to appreciate more fully after the growing season. Using a variety of filters and a texture courtesy of Kim Klassen, these marigolds are transformed into a real-life canvas.
will definitely inspire me when February/March come around.
What will you miss most about the fall?

Lovely flowers! I really like how you edited the photos. They look so great.
ReplyDeleteI will miss the color of fall the most. Fall is spectacular but winter is so bland out here in the woods.
I totally agree. I like decorating with fall colors because they are so cozy/comforting. Hope your winter is extra cheery this year... :)
ReplyDeleteOh, such beautiful blooms! I'll miss the feeling of summer turning to fall the most. I enjoy the " turning inward " part of fall and take joy in clearing away the cobwebs of summer and making the house cozy and welcoming for the winter months. I'm still painting and re-decorating...We'll ease into Christmas decorating over the next week or so! Thank you for sharing your post!
ReplyDeleteGoodbye Fall...! I'm missing my garden terribly!
Deborah, you captured my feelings exactly...it's nice to transition from all the outside work and curl up by the fire. Thanks for your thoughts about fall and Christmas. (I'm missing all the fresh produce, but I still have 3 strainers of tomatoes we're eating from and lots of winter squash!) Blessings!
DeleteLovely photos of very lovely subjects. I always thought that marigolds are such pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like marigolds too...they are so faithful and you have to love that! Blessings!
DeletePhotos are a great way to help extend our floral seasons. We are rather spoilt here as flowers bloom all year round. However our garden is looking a little frazzled in our current heat wave....
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and enjoying the India photos Nancy.
It must be great to enjoy your flowers all year long. I pamper my African Violets in the winter and my other houseplants. Hope to see some of your flowers this winter (for us!) Blessings!
DeleteBeautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful flowers. Great shot. Have a beautiful week

ReplyDeleteThanks...I believe marigolds are under rated! Thanks for visiting! :)
