I'm in the garden - archives

It was a very wet day yesterday, we had more rain in a few days then all of September. But at least now the ground is really wet. Definitely too wet to garden.
These little Colchicums, fall crocus would have been soggy by now, but they are digitally preserved in my archives. Such a pretty pinky purple, and so incongruous a color with all the russets, oranges, and amber's of fall. But pair them with the lovely purple of fall blooming asters, and it really works.

  2. Always beautiful here. I LOVE your header photo! I didn't get any sunflowers this year...:( Maybe next year. Thanks for your patient friendship. I really missed you and all your beautiful photos. I have all your cards right by my computer, so I can look at them. Heck no I haven't sent them to anyone...was I supposed to? lol

  3. What pretty colors and I love the light thru the delicate petals. About the only color in my yard is one purple Encore azalea. Enjoy your Sunday Jen.

  5. Too wet to garden, why I have never heard of such a thing. (said while looking at a bunch of stuff that needs to be planted or picked).

  12. My colchicums are a little more pinky than purply, but still look a little out of place amidst the autumn colors, and sadly bedraggled by the rain, too...

    Love your macro shots -- absolutely beautiful!!!
