Lets start with the winners of my crochet bowl giveaway :0)
One hundred and twelve of you put your names in down for this....WOW
To choose the three winners I got my boys to each pick a number between 1 and 112. They chose numbers 8,97and 105.
Which means Anne, Claire and Petunia pill, I'll be in touch very soon to find out where to send your prizes :0)
I seem to be struggling to squeeze in blogging time at the moment and I'm not really sure why. Five posts in September, that's not much at all for me. Hopefully things will start to quieten down a bit round here soon and I'll get more time to spend in my little corner of cyberspace.
The weather in these parts has indeed turned out to be exceptional this week. In fact yesterday reached 29 degrees Celsius...possibly a little too hot...don't really like to complain about warm weather but I had to hide from the sun yesterday.
Earlier in the week the weather was perfect. On Wednesday I managed to get out and enjoy the beautifully warm day. Perfect picture taking weather :0)
As soon as the boys were at school I went for a little walk and was delighted with all the wonderful colours to be found.......
Chinese Lanterns , what a perfect Autumn colour.
Virginia creeper turning red..........
A glimpse of Shumach at it's best in this cute cottage's front garden....
Falling leaves and looooong shadows :0).......
These wonderful berries I'm not familiar with but I love their colour...
Beech leaves....
and Oak Leaves ...
Later in the day ,whilst out shopping, I loved the colour of the strawberries in the sun....not so Autumnish but so photogenic and yummy :0)...
Plums are more seasonal.......
And at the end of the day , when the sun was really low in the sky, the golden light made the bricks of this old building look such an AmaZing hot orangy brown....
It was wonderful to have chance to explore on such a lovely day and it's always wonderful to be able to share these images with you lovelies.
I am aware I haven't got round to doing my September nature notes post yet...that will follow very soon....hopefully .
Have a great weekend !

Beautiful autumn pictures
ReplyDeleteGreetings Crissi
Gorgeous photos! I've taken lots of autumnal pictures in the last two weeks (all on my blog) and have been enjoying the sunshine and colour!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit annoyed with myself about those berries you are not familiar with are - I also wondered what they were when I saw them a couple of years ago - I found out then and now I just cannot remember!
Looking forward to the nature notes.. I've just realised it's October now, time for me to have a peek in my 'country diary'!
I absolutely love Autumn!!!!! You are ahead of us .....I cannot wait to see some color!! It is supposed to cool down here tomorrow....it has been to hot for me...I am ready for crisp days!!!!!!!!! Lovely pictures.....
ReplyDeleteyou capture colours so well , beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love the chinese lanterns, their colour is stunning!! It is looking very Autumnal with you... still quite summery here, not much Autumn going on - espcially with the weather at the moment, though there are a couple of trees about to turn... and of course the conkers are everywhere but that's about it so far! xxx
ReplyDeleteI am loving the Autumn pictures all over blogland as I live in Florida and there is not even a hint of Autumn here. Congrats to the winners, Petunia Pill is a lovely blog friend.
ReplyDeleteHAppy Weekend,
Meredith
Oh that Orange Jacqui is stunning, love the lanterns too. I have had the lurgy so have felt awful these past few days and am only just starting to feel human again and can enjoy a little outdoor activity, it's a little too hot for me too and if I was feeling well I would have been in the sea by now :0) Have a great weekend and week ahead, congrats to your winners, lovely crochet bowls x
ReplyDeleteoooo yea, well thanks to your boys for picking my number :) Loverly chinese lanterns, I hadn't ever seen these until Lucy @ attic24 blogged about them in Sept. And the colour of the buikding is lovely and warming too, you captured that really well x

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the heat, I love a bit of sunshine but maybe with an autumnal breeze rather than this humidity!

ReplyDeleteJacquie your red berries are Rowan or Mountain Ash!
Great photos - thanks!
The weather looks perfect in your part of the world Jacquie. It's been glorious here today, we took a lovely long walk along our seafront this afternoon, ice cream was a requirement of course!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your weekend. ♥
Beautiful photos, the berries are rowan, as Gill says - not the wild type but an ornamental variety; its the one I have in my garden! xx
ReplyDeleteSo nice to enjoy Autumn through your blog Jackie, your photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of the Chinese Lantern and the Virginia Creeper...........
Nice to get a bit more warmth before you descend into Winter.
It's a beautiful, sunny morning here after a very wet, grey week.
Enjoy your weekend,
Claire :}
