Hedychium forrestii (SW China)
Meine Blog-Bekanntschaft Gail im Norden Kanadas hat sich schon am Samstag über meine knalligen Herbstfarben aufgeregt. Denn dort, wo sie wohnt, waren über Nacht gut 45cm Schnee gefallen… mit ging das Herz auf, aber meine Schneefräse ist auch nicht kaputt. Also, ich habe gar keine – ihr wisst, was ich meine.
My friend Gail from Northern Canada was already quite upset on Saturday when I posted pictures of the wonderful fall colors we’re having. Thing is, they got about a foot and a half of snow overnight… I would have been overjoyed but then of course my snow blower isn’t broken. I mean, I don’t even have one but you know what I mean. Gail, I’m not doing this to spite you – consider it an attempt at getting some warmth your way!
Bei dem besten Wetter gestern hatte ich mich spontan zu einer Art „Picknick Lunch“ im Botanischen Garten entschieden – aber ich konnte ja kaum in Ruhe zuende essen…
With yesterday’s perfect summer weather I spontaneously decided on a picknich lunch at the Botanical Gardens – but I could hardly sit still long enough to finish it…
Malva alcea (Sigmarskraut, Rosenpappel)
Zu lange schon war ich nicht mehr hier gewesen und die Farbenpracht war einfach überwältigend.
It has been too long since I’d last been there and the colors were just awesome.
Cobaea scandens, Mexico (Glockenrebe)
Hab ich erwähnt, dass das ein Foto-Beitrag wird?
Have I mentioned that this is going to be a photo post?
Gomphrena globosa, tropical and subtropical America (Kugelamarant)
Die Frösche schweigen zu dieser Jahreszeit, aber ich habe mal erkundet, was sie so zu sehen kriegen.
The frogs are quiet at this time of the year but I checked out what they get to see when hopping on a stroll.
Die ganze herbstliche Farbpalette. Glaub ich.
The full fall color spectrum. Must be.
Helichrysum bracteatum, Australia (Strohblume)
Papaver atlanticum, Morocco (Atlas-Mohn)
Und dann sah ich noch den Erfinder des Color-Blocking!
And then I found the inventor of color blocking!
Euonymus europaeus, Europe, Turkestan, Sibiria (Pfaffenhütchen)
Und nun: habt eine gute Woche!
With this: have a good week!

Hahahahaha! Oh Barbara, you sure can rub it in;
as I sit here, having a snow day!
My brother in law came & cleaned out the driveway & yard yesterday, but as I drove down there to go to work this morning, I realized I was going nowhere until the main road is plowed!
There’s no school today, or they would have been done already!
That’s ok, I won some blog candy, so I’m happy happy happy!
I think I’ll just make a card or two today!
Great pictures, love them, it’s actually not that cold with all the snow, it’s more of an inconvenience!
I have been shoveling, but the wind is blowing it all back!
Have a great week!
