Mosaic Monday ... Blooms, Butterflies, Big Moon and Blue Sky.
We've begun our last Autumn month here in north-eastern tropical Oz and I have created just a simple mosaic to show what's been going on in my corner of the world in the last week.
There have been loads of Common Grass Butterflies, glorious blue-sky days, blooms on the old faithfuls as well as the up and coming annuals, and a fantastic big big moon lighting up the bushland at night.
I love your images of fall flowers and the Super Moon. I like visiting blogs of folks Down Under. It lets me see where our seasons are going and where they have been.
From all your many mosaics that I have enjoyed reading I think of you having an endless summer. There are always beautiful blooms to look at and interesting birds. Valerie
Bernie have you ever noticed how blue the sky is in Autumn? Seems bluer than any other time. Spring here lasts but just a little while then it's full out summer.
love the mosaic, it says so much - butterflies, flowers, moon and sky. Bernie, can you tell me how you do it? I've been trying to make a collage like this for ages, and haven't been able to work out how to do it.
It´s allways a pleasure to see your pictures from the wonderful australien bush! In Berlin it´s really cold, today I stay at home and the heater is on! Wish you a nice time!
BTW my pelargonium cuttings are growing and flowering as they lie ON the ground, maybe put your overwintering cuttings in fine gravel, and out of the rain. Kirstenbosch has the succulents mostly in the glassed conservatory, to avoid our mediterranean winter rain.
See, some things are not so very different there on the other side of the world. Any one of those photos could have been taken in my own back yard! I think our dry spells here are called droughts because they are not quite as common here as in your world. This past winter was one of the wettest we've ever had! But this summer, we've had to little rain that the land is drying up. I think it's so traumatic for us because our plants and climate are not accustomed to it. We have too many water-thirsty plants that desperately need the rain. If it was always dry, we wouldn't grow those darned thirsty plants!
Ahhh, the perfect autumn day as it were. Wonderful mosaic!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see the opposite season from mine from down under! Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteAs your season winds down, ours is winding up! It's a topsy turvy world sometimes. Beautiful flowers, Bernie.
ReplyDeleteThats a nice collection of pentas & zinnias.

That's a fall sky, for certain - so crisp and clear. I hope your autumn is long and lovely.

Nice to see you had clear skies to view the moon. It was too cloudy here in Central Texas. Your mosaic is just beautiful!

Autumn season in your place still looks like summer to me. The blooms are bright, colourful and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mosaic...how special to get a photo of the super moon in there, too! Enjoy your week!

Bernie, you've captured so many different colors in your mosaic, and as much as I love flowers, sometimes the prettiest color of all is blue sky blue!
ReplyDeleteBTW my pelargonium cuttings are growing and flowering as they lie ON the ground, maybe put your overwintering cuttings in fine gravel, and out of the rain. Kirstenbosch has the succulents mostly in the glassed conservatory, to avoid our mediterranean winter rain.
ReplyDeleteNice capture of the grass butterfly which was almost camouflaged as the sunlight brighthen up the leaves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day in your garden! Blue skies and sun, I may just soak here for a while...ahhh wonderful!! Cheers Julia
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Mosaic Bernie! Love the shot of the moon *hugs*deb
