Sad
the summer is almost over as this is the last full week of summer . The weather has been very hot , humid and dry seems like summer is going out in style and giving her last YURAW ! As of September 22nd it will be another pretty season, Fall as I call it or Autumn as others call it . I have been busy in the gardens getting a head start on some of the plants that have finished trimming them and preparing them for their dormancy whilst other flourish before and during the new coming season . I can see the changes within the land and the wildlife .
The bees are collecting as much nectar as they can and are busy bouncing from one flower to the next of what's left in the gardens and in the fields of wild flowers as are the butterfly's .
The grasshoppers have been chirping like crazy and taking lots of well deserved brakes in the heat .
The summer birds have all taken off on their long journey now and we get the odd straggler stop off for a rest and bite to eat as we are on the migration path and get all kinds of birds this time of year in our yard that don't always occupy it on a regular basis . Like this little Tufted Titmouse , we don't get them here in the yard but do get them about the valley but they are very elusive until I spotted this one stopping off way up on the sprue tree.
Some of our trees are slowly starting to change now to .
This one here has quite the mix of colour . Talking about mix some of these photos are taken with my big camera and others my smartphone which is some times easier to cart about then my big camera especially when Miggs and I are on our walks .I hear and see the farmers up on the top of our valley through the trees with their big machines that harvest is well on its way and lots of signs for fresh produce at the local farms for sale . Love me some local farm fresh food YUMMY !
It is time to say goodbye to summer and hello to Fall /Autumn .
Until next time .

Some of the trees here are turning, though most will wait for a couple more weeks.
Looking forward to seeing all the lovely fall colours.
I am happy to hear it was such a great season. Wishing that the next one will be just as wonderful :)
Your flowers are still so pretty. The colors in that tree are beautiful! It doesn't feel one bit like fall here. In fact, this has been the hottest, most humid August and September I can remember and the weather people say it will stay this way through the first part of October. I love fall and am looking forward to cooler weather and the colored leaves. Hope Miggs is feeling good! give her a hug for me. Thank you for the comment on my blog. We were lucky that the worst of the storm missed us.
