Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
Like River I usually run with a theme. Today it is two themes. Autumnal colour and confusion.
It is definitely Autumn here, and our winter is just around the corner. The trees are finally changing colour, and losing their leaves to reveal their bare bone elegance.
In my garden things are confused. I have a ranuncula that has flowered, I have violets in bloom and innumerable spring bulbs are poking their heads above the ground.
I don't think I have ever had a jonquil in bud before winter...
We have been dry. Very dry. Which means that our autumnal colour is not as vibrant as it has been in other years. The trees which turn yellow have made a half-hearted attempt and the leaves have died and fallen.
Just the same when I went for a wander around my street early one morning this week I smiled. Rather a lot.
The grevillea is not autumnal, but I do love them. And I found found and purchased a yellow one (Goldfever) which I hope flowers soon.
I am so grateful to live in a heavily treed area.
A protea about to burst into full flower. Beautiful things, which I cannot grow. My green thumb is black where they are concerned (and a few other plants too).
The next two trees couldn't make up their mind. Green and red, green and gold...
I loved the vivid colours at the top of the tree when the sun hit it Later those colours will bleed further down.
It is a pretty street - and a pretty time of year. We have rain forecast (again) for later today. Cross your fingers for me please.
Next week? Birds I think. And more from our garden.
