118/29

This is cheating rather, its a photo from last year, but I hope to repeat the feeding of the tuis as successfully this year. So this photo is for comparison.

117/28

Some more of my favourite fungi.

116/27

One of the last flowers on the fuchsia I bought this season. I have decided they are a very good late  in the season colour, it is just the hassle of wintering them over.

115/26

More of my favourite fungi /lichen type photo's.

114/25

I still remember when my daughter first saw the ginko leaves, she likened them to Shreks ears, so that's what we have called them ever since.

113/24

More garden art.

112/23

A couple of days not being able to work out what was happening my computer, but I did still take photos. I found some of the art around my garden that you don't see until leaf fall.

Another pretty sunrise this morning.

Back on the lichen theme again, I find the patterns they make fascinating.

107/18

This spittle bug was hiding in the silver beet we were having for tea. A least I think it is a spittle bug but it does seem late in the year.

106/17

Once again not my knitting but I did help with the finishing. It's hard to remember my children being this small!!!

105/16

This is not my knitting but I did sew it up, my very clever daughter has just finished it for the expected baby. Her most complex knitting project so far and in 3ply no less. I was impressed!!!

104/15

The weather on Saturday could have almost been the beginning of spring not the end of autumn. So having my first vase of narssisus to pick was rather appropriate.

Another late in the season flower, the toad lily, Tricyrtis hirta.

102/13

Although it is a little raggy round the edges, I still love the "face" on this late in the season pansy.

I know I have photographed these mushrooms before, but I just can't help myself.

I managed to catch a brief  sunrise this morning, pretty pink shades, not the red sky in the morning shepherds warning type sky.

99/10

Spent time after work raking up the leaves, a pity it blew hard during the night.....

This is the red hypericum  berries left on the plant after a frost.

97/8

The berries are great colour at this time of the year. I tried to take these yesterday but the light was poor and my camera kept using the flash, I really do need to find the instruction book!!!!

More Autumn colour, I do love it.

A wet afternoon on Tues, so ended up doing granddaughter things. The dress was crocheted on holiday so had to make a padded coathanger for it to go on.

A row of Phormium tenax with Lamium galeobdolon , aluminium plant underneath.

90/1

It has taken 20years to establish my Lapageria's but both are doing well and flower prolifically.

89/30

The autumn colours are stunning, especially this unnamed  Acer seedling, the colours are so intense.

88/29

Catch up time, I did take the photos but didn't get then posted. I wish the smell from this Daphne Bholua could be bottled it is so beautiful.
