October has been calm and sunny. The first half of the month was very dry and often very still, with no wind! We have not had any frost yet but the evenings are definitely feeling cooler. The showers we have had don't seem to have caused much damage to trees or flowers - the autumn colours are still appearing in more and more intensity as the month goes on.
Our blueberry bush - after giving us yummy blueberries, is now giving us spectacular colour!
The Azaleas and Witch Hazel too are turning lovely colours.
The crab apple tree has finally shed its load - the ground underneath the tree is covered in red confetti.
There is a selection of other berries around the garden - of various colours...
The orange berries of the rowan and the blue of the berberis are however long gone - to the birds!
However there are still some flowers to be seen in the garden ...
What a treat to still find so many flowers at the end of October!
October
Chilly mornings, watery windows, autumn's in the air,
Calmly, quietly, it crept upon us as if there was no-one there.
The leaves turn shades of orange and yellow, others red and gold,
Against the misty, murky backdrop, what a sight they are to behold!
But then the wind gathers up its strength and blows with all its might,
Until the ground is littered with another seasonal sight.
