I love the way my Hydrengia change colour all season :) Love the little misting of raindrops on them too.

October 24 2010 - Day 296

At least this misty rain is keeping the flowers watered... :)

Thought I'd play a bit in Photoshop with this picture. I applied a watercolor effect to it. You may need to click on the picture to see it clearly.

This crazy mum was one we bought LAST fall. It started budding over CHRISTMAS last year after it looked like it was dead. So glad that it survived with the crazy weather this year.

Ah, fall, my favorite time of year

September 19 2010 - Day 261

Finally a nice day out. This plant (Virginia Creeper? I think) was growing on the wall by the gas station and is so gorgeous and vibrant.

Soggy, soggy flowers... it must be fall.

September 06 2010 - Day 248

Hopefully in the spring this area will be covered in Saint John's Wort :) It took all day to plant the teeny tiny seeds... it was like trying to plant well ground black pepper. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Even the blackberries are confused this year. Here they are as flowers, berries and finished, ALL on the same plant. It appears that this moth is enjoying them.

The weather has been so crazy this year. This is the THIRD time these roses have bloomed.

Peek-a-boo Hydrangea

LOVE this garden mum that I got at Costco. It's so huge and happy. It makes me smile.

Butchart Gardens was AMAZING! I can't believe I've never gone before. My niece worked there for the summer and gave us some complementary tickets. Thanks Melanie!

More of our gorgeous Hydrangea :) I love all the different colors

Bruce seems to love watering the garden :) I'm so glad. Here is the gorgeous Hydrangea bush by our front door.

July 30 2010 - Day 210

I have no idea what these 'fruit?' are.

They were growing on this thick, twisty vine at the Longwood Brewpub restaurant. Taken with Bruce's camera while we were out for lunch.

What a FUN day! It was the 3rd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk today. I have wanted to participate, but haven't been able too before today. Here are a few shots, and here is a pool of everyone's shots from the Nanaimo walk on flickr :) http://www.flickr.com/groups/1436464@N25/
