Mosaic Monday ... Feathers, Flowers, Sunshine and Blue Skies Sometimes.

Autumn is here, 'wet' season is almost over and finally we're seeing blue skies and sunshine hanging around a little bit longer every day.  My garden and I are coming out of the summer doldrums.

It makes a glorious change to wake up and spot patches of blue in the early morning sky  ...


... and then to see blue as the day's work draws to an end.


There may be some grey in between, but at least there's blue!

There seems to be more life around the garden too.  The dragonflies hover ...


... and the birds re-appear.



There are flowers on the Palm trees ...


... and flowers on the Crotons.


Even these flowers, which usually go unnoticed, are cheering me up no end as I walk about this garden in recovery.  It's about time I appreciated these mostly unappreciated blooms .  They are a great sight as I wander amongst the damaged plants at the moment.

For so many more great mosaic, go and visit Mary's meme  Mosaic Monday

    Hi Bernie, I love your mosaic Monday posts! What fun to see your birds and flowers in such pretty and thoughtful mosaic designs! One of these days I'm going to learn how to do that! Wishing you a dry and mild first week of Autumn Downunder.

    Glad you are enjoying the blooms in your recovering garden. Regrowth takes time for all, man, plants and animals.

    Happy Gardening ~ FlowerLady

    P.S. Thanks for the bday wishes.

    Having joined Mosaic Monday this week I am now enjoying blog hopping around the world admiring everyone else's beautiful photography and gaining inspiration. It cheers me when so much of the world around us is in turmoil for one reason or another.
    I am also a keen gardener so this was a particularly interesting post for me. By the way I do not subscribe to posts any more as my mailbox was overwhelmed!!

    Hello Bernie - I've missed checking in on your Mosaic Mondays! Beautiful images - the first of the early morning sky really leaps out for me. It must be wonderful to see those high wispy clouds and lots of blue again!

    Beautiful collages Bernie. Such great photo's of the birds. Wonderful, life is returning to your place. The dragonflies have returned, a sure sign of the dry season coming up. Your blogs are such a joy to visit.
