Life's a Stitch

Aside from fall’s foliage, it’s been an exceptionally colourful month here. I think I crave colour in preparation for the long Pacific Northwest season of foggy greeny greys.

C finished another piece of garden art.

Initially I thought it was responsible for this magnificent afternoon rainbow cast upon our rock wall. 

In fact, that spectrum of light is a fall phenomenon, like the changing colour of the leaves. As the afternoon sunlight angle changes, in October it hits the bevels of our bathroom mirror and produces this example of nature’s artwork.

Not the prettiest pav on my blog, it is the brightest I’ve posted. Never mind the crumbly sides, it was delicious.

Look at these edible mushroom we found last week, appropriately called Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis, or the amethyst deceiver, as it changes colour quickly.

Our autumn sunsets are spectacular.

And the poppy seeds that hitched a ride in planters from our old house, have bloomed right in time for Remembrance Day.
