Last week included several sunny afternoons and much time spent in the garden—preparing it for forecasted cold. Unfortunately the very scenes that feed my soul and lift my spirit sometimes do not translate well on screen, like this one. The spots of sunlight were positively brilliant in person, but distracting here...
Never-the-less I will use one of these photos in an attempt to share the skeleton flamingos which make me smile whenever I see them. They've moved around the garden but somehow seem to keep being drawn back to this area.
Let me introduce them, proper like. This one is Morticia...
And over yonder is her lover, Gomez...
I don't think they'll be around much longer, they seem to always fly away around midnight on October 31st...

Made me smile, and I have to ask: did you paint a pair of pink flamingos or purchased them in their currents state? I love them!
ReplyDeleteI bought them like this... there's a nursery in town that usually has a lot of the pink flamingos in the garden and one year they switched over to these in autumn. I had to have them!
DeleteHa! Happy almost Halloween.
ReplyDeleteRight back at you!
DeleteI always wanted a set of those...I'm jealous. ;>
ReplyDeleteYou should get one!
DeleteSome of the most beautiful moments in the garden see impossible to capture in photographs. Just have to use our imagination to envision the light playing through the foliage. Love the birds.
ReplyDeleteAnd luckily us gardeners are good at imagining.
DeleteDespite your apologies, I enjoyed the dappled sunlight filtering through your lovely foliage. The flamingos were a nice surprise too. I'm sure they'd be very popular here but they might also disappear for all the wrong reasons.
ReplyDeleteThey’ve stayed in the back garden for that very reason. Last year I put them out front for Halloween, but I’m not sure I’ll do that this year.
DeleteHaha, cute... so 'you,' Loree!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eliza!
DeleteHaha - I love those!! Sorry to be a copy cat, but if I ever see any, I will have to have them - they are great!
ReplyDeleteAnd you should!
