Fennel in the vegetable garden.
Figs.
Granny Smith Apples.
Quinces
Freshly dug potatoes and parsnips.
A squash hiding under the leaves.
Last but not least the moon hiding behind the clouds just as the sun was setting. A hand held shot.
I was interested to see your figs. I had fresh figs for the first time at Noushka's house. I had only previously had dried figs. The fresh ones were deeeelicious!
ReplyDeleteYum yum we love them as well. Hopefully I can dry a lot as well as eat them fresh. We have two quite big trees. Cheers Diane
DeleteI absolutely love your photos, Diane! The white spider is fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing, I really needed this today.
ReplyDeleteThe white spider was still there today as you will see. Hope all is well Diane
DeleteBeautiful flowers and very fruitful edible trees! I have never seen a white crab spider before! Have a fantastic day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, all the garden is pretty edible at the moment :-)) You have a great day as well.
DeleteSo lovely, moon capture!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh yes, this is what I mean, by Autumn beginning in Aug. Overflowing gardens. Etc.
Oh sigh, all the wildflowers gone? Not even a back corner, left for the butterflies? Maybe..? :-)
The wild flowers (weeds) will grow back much faster than the grass so they will soon be back I hope. Its a viscous circle, I want the bugs but I do not want the weeds all over the lawn! The plums are starting to fall though now and the butterflies love the rotting ones :-) Cheers Diane
DeleteI have a fear of spiders... that white one is pretty cool looking though!
ReplyDeletePam I also do not like spiders but these little ones are fine just to look at!!!! Cheers Diane
DeleteWhite crab spider....strange. I know I have seen things like that but to me....its just a SPIDER! haha. Great pics. The project I am working on for my sis in law is a quilt block - 4x4 and it will hang on the barn! Here in the south that is a thing that people do!
ReplyDeleteI agree a spider is a spider, but if they are in the garden and not in the house, and they keep their distance for me to take photos I put up with them to a degree!!!!
DeleteQuilt block, interesting, something I have never seen or heard of before.
Take care Diane
