a patio and lawn dusted with the first fallen leaves of autumn. We knew it had to happen sooner or later. Sigh ...
But there are still some flowers and visitors to the flowers in the garden, like this amazing painted lady butterfly on purple liatris (blazing star)
After I get a little more settled and back into the routine of going to work (!), I'll post more about our Belize trip. Plus I have lots of blog reading to catch up on; it seems the writers of the blogs I follow are very prolific with posts far too good to skip. :-)
The season of extra work; all those leaves.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of the Painted Lady. A beauty.
Welcome home - and thanks for the touches of Belize. Hope you'll have more. we've had to postpone our trip there from early next year to a later time, but Fodor's is on my desk.
ReplyDeleteKeith -- still lots of clean up to do from the summer garden, too. I like to make sure that the insects and animals have what they need to overwinter, but I also need to keep my neighbors from resenting having a weedy eyesore next door! I favor the natural look myself. ;-)
ReplyDeleteChris - don't worry; I have a lots of Belize photos of plants, insects, the sea, etc. to post and write about, plus links to other Belize sites for conservation and scholastic philanthropic opportunities. I hope you won't get bored before I'm through!
Thanks to both of you for visiting and commenting.
cheers,
Wilma
