On this trip to the garden, I was looking forward to seeing what they had done around the Moon Gate but it's a bit late in the year for doing too much. I did notice they had dug a large bedding area that's not in view. It would be on the left of the gate. I am standing next to the bed as I take the photo and will be eager to see what they plant next growing season.
\The bush where I took photos of the chipmunks enjoying themselves last September, had been completely cut back. You can see my chipmunk post here if you would like a reminder, or if you haven't seen it before. Those chipmunks are so cute and were having a great time tucking into the flower buds. This was one of my favorite photos from that post.
It wasn't only those berries that took my interest that day. I like looking at the old leaves on the ground. This was a white oak leaf.
The Lark daisies were still blooming. I am leaving links where you can find more information. This one has a tiny visitor.

That's all for today. I didn't take too many photos on this last trip. Everything was slowly going to sleep for the winter months.
Thanks for looking today, and I hope you have a great day.
The garden design is fantastic

DeleteI love the moon gate. I had to laugh, when I read everything is going to sleep for the winter months. Ever since the time change, I find it hard to stay up past 8:00 pm!

Deletereally lovely images, this looks like a beautiful place!! the chipmunk was my favorite also!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie :) a little beauty to be sure :)
DeleteIt’s always such a pleasure to see how gardens evolve with the seasons! The anticipation of the new planting season around the Moon Gate sounds exciting, and I’m sure it will be beautiful once the bed is planted. The chipmunks must’ve been a delight to photograph—such a charming part of the garden's life. I also love the idea of appreciating the old leaves, like the white oak one, which adds a touch of nostalgia to the changing seasons. Your photos of the flowers and berries continue to inspire!

Thank you Melody, a lovely comment. I look forward to visiting you after our Thanksgiving :)
DeleteMe gusta la primera foto y al ardilla. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMuito obrigado. Te mando um beijo.
DeleteI'd love a moon gate, but I think it would overwhelm my tiny area. Just framing the view beyond would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Boud :) mine too. !
DeleteCute chipmunk. I love squirrels.
ReplyDeleteLovely garden :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed :)
DeleteYou've shared some lovely photographs here, but the chipmunk is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving wishes for the 28th.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan, so glad you enjoyed them :) and much appreciate you Thanksgiving wishes.
DeleteVery beautiful flowers still at the garden. And that moon gate is lovely! My Nanny used to say when you see all those berries on hollies that the winter was going to be harsh. I don't know if this is scientific or not, but she said it was assurance the birds and other critters still had something to eat during winter. My Nellie Stevens hollies are loaded as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your family, dear Denise! I am thankful for your friendship.
Thank you for sharing your memories my friend :) It will be very interesting if the loaded berries are a weather prediction. Your Nanny’s explaining about the birds is quite logical. Thank you also for your Thanksgiving wishes which are truly appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too. I am also very grateful for our friendship dear friend.
DeleteWishing you a very nice Thanksgiving, Denise. Great photo of the chipmunk, and those red berries!
