And now it's October

It really is a time for change. I haven't really done a huge amount of "out and about" things. It seems that routine and just doing the chores is my lot. But I have had a little chance to take some photos. I find this time of year here in West Chester really lovely. Having had such a brutal summer it is nice to feel you can once again, step outside! So here's the pics
It absolutely poured one day

This was like a mini river down the street


But seeing these made me think of Autumn at home! Conkers are great

Louie doing fantastic posing for me

This came into the exchange and it's called Fat Head...love it!

These hydrangeas are so lovely


Weird spiders web and it ran into the hole...



Louie drumming on First Friday at the Exchange

Founders day at school and proud dad



So this could be described as a foggy morning!

Couldn't even see down the lane


But a this is the weather at the end of the week. I love these trees on my route to the grocery store and they turn spectacular colours in the Autumn/Fall time



We decided that we would go to Longwood. Louie, Lucy and I



The colours and flowers are just breathtaking

The bees were very busy


The flowers just perfect

dappled sunshine

Bark looking as Louie described it a ploughed field 

The sky reflecting in this pool just truly spectacular

Managed to catch this friend

This is the remnants of the sunflowers

Crystal blue skies and aircraft vapor trails

love these cotton heads

There is a bee having a rest

Seriously, did an elf make a door way in a trunk?

This bird house looks like it is camouflaged

Lights for the evening show and the leaves turning already

Water lilies are still going strong

Really splendid

Can't believe they can grow these

These are growing from a conservatory roof

Sometimes words fail

This curtain of vegetation is really interesting

and aloe Vera!

Serious contemplation

But not for long with the cheeky pair that they are



The colours in the cactus room at Longwood are so subtle and lovely and this just stands out

So many interesting plants

Cactus heaven

They grow these lovely grapefruit indoors

Outside everything is growing, these cones are so interesting and they were shedding

Junipers and some how thoughts turn to Christmas but I'm getting ahead of myself and it's time to check on the lentils....oops that would be them burning...till next time
