THE END IS. NEAR !!!!!

This past weekend took a number of photos of the Autumn colors in the garden and in the nearby area.  The colors were some of the best that I have seen in many years.  Stopped at an apple orchard and mentioned that observation to the owner who has lived in the area for many years and she mentioned the same thing. “More colors and for a longer duration than has happened in years.”  Nice to know that I wasn’t the only one that thought it is a special year for Autumn colors here.

Do enjoy some of the photos from this week.  Because I used a cellphone and that is not the best camera, keep in mind that photos do not show total reality since they have about 15 percent less accuracy and clarity than the human eye. Even with that, the colors here now are pretty fantastic.

Hoping you enjoyed some of the photos from this week.  Because I used a cellphone and that is not the best camera, keep in mind that photos do not show total reality since they have about 15 percent less accuracy and clarity than the human eye. Even with that, the colors here now are pretty fantastic.

 

 

 

 

THE GARDEN DOOR

Recently visited an excellent little garden located at the University of Wisconsin Peninsula Agricultural Research Station in Door County Wisconsin. I encourage anyone visiting the area to take the time to check it out.  Got so many more ideas for my home garden. Really a little gem of a garden!
