Here is a perfect example. Yes, the party will be over soon-especially with nights starting to dip into the 40s. C'est la vie. We'll enjoy it while we can.

I become very busy with my bird photography in the winters and actually put up a blind in the back yard once the gardens are put to sleep for the season.

It must be hard to tuck the plants away in preparation for the cold weather - not just due to the physical demands (which I'm sure are considerable) but also for the loss of having them displayed front and center. I love your plant combinations, especially the one with Caladium, coleus, New Guinea impations and alternathera (?).Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731207846496064700.post-12064166726067650252013-09-15T13:59:11.793-07:002013-09-15T13:59:11.793-07:00Wow!
