Hi darling!
Why don't you turn it off?
Here I am, in the garden, a solace for the soul....
Even though the gardening season is drawing to a close,
a few blazing garden beauties are still there catching the
eye and cheering the yards . My faded zinnias, late roses
and flourishing yellow daises created this little patch which
lifts your spirits and mood. I’m so happy since I rediscovered

You still have so many flowers in your garden...it looks wonderful. It's raining now in Holland but next weekend it will be so much better...some wonderful days to live outside and to enjoy our time in the garden.
ReplyDeleteWish you a lot of sunshine, next weekend and in your life ;-). Hugs, Ingrid
Oh such lovely end-of-summer photos and what fantastic weather it sounds like you are having! Enjoy those blooms and sunshine. Like Ingrid in Holland, we've moved to gray, wet weather in the Pacific Northwest. . .it's only been days and already I am longing for the sun and the gardens it brings with it. Enjoy the party and do tell us about it ~ Hugs, Jackie

ReplyDeleteaahh, your roses are beautiful, Olympia. I can smell them from here. You took such pretty pictures of them. I hope your daughter's 'girl party' turns out just the way she wants it. I remember those days preparing the parties and coming up with ideas for them. Such fun times, so please enjoy, because one day you will turn around and she will be 30! Where does the time go? Such a lovely post today. I always enjoy seeing flowers, they are the magic in our lives.

It is quite frightening setting out with a new camera, but I am sure that you will soon get used to it. I should really update my camera, but I like the fact that I can take photos spontaneously without thinking about any of the technicalities.
ReplyDeleteI know that you will give your daughter a lovely party, but when it comes a very happy birthday to her.
There is still a feast of colour in your garden Olympia and plenty of warm sunshine to enjoy.
Such sweet prettiness, fragrant and full of joy, the petite posy poses with flair, as it scents the autumn air.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Olympia!

Bellezze d'autunno davvero , e presentato in modo molto originale e creativo . Concordo con te, avere un giardino è avere un tesoro, ti dà così tanto . Un abbraccio da un Milano tutt'altro che autunnale....oggi c'erano 25° !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures from your garden. Love all the colors.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
Hugs from here

ReplyDeleteDank voor je commentaar op mijn blog....ik was lang niet op blogs geweest...wat heb je toch een prachtige kleurige bloemen.
ReplyDeleteSchitterende foto's maak je....ik word er blij van...

Bonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteJe ne sais pas si tu es débutante mais je suis sous le charme de l'ensemble de ces merveilleuses photos que nous offres généreusement dans ce très joli billet.
J'aime beaucoup la photo, cependant je n'ai reçu aucun enseignement et j'avoue que le langage de la photo ne me parle pas. Pour le comprendre je pense qu'il me faudrait des cours de pratique avec de véritables photographes ! Si bien qu'en ce moment je me contente de mon appareil qui est un LUMIX FZ150. Un jour peut-être prendrai-je le temps ?!...
Tu as réalisé de merveilleuses compositions florales. J'aime toutes les fleurs qui arborent ton jardin. Un grand merci pour ce splendide bouquet de roses qui embaume mon écran !
Gros bisous ♡
Dear Olympia, I would say GLORIOUS pics! It can't be that you are a beginner! If you advance even more the computer will burst due to the beauty of your photographs! ;o) --- These last flowers in my opinion are the most precious as they will be the last ones for quite some time. You have arranged them in such a lovely manner! I hope your daughter's party went well and thank you so much for the fragrance of your roses! Christa
ReplyDeleteLovely happy images Olympia ! hope your party goes well ! who needs to smell those roses when they look so lovely !!

Warm hug,
Titti
Are you keeping the cat?
