Color and Surprise in the Fall Garden
I wandered in the garden and found color in the lavender –
and a rose –
and in a flock of visitors dressed in brilliant yellow!
Townsend’s Warblers – what a treat!

Lovely colours, Susanne.
All you would find here at the moment is RAIN!
(Official weather report. It has rained here for 25 days!)
Best wishes, Pete.
These lovely birds visited yesterday and I was thrilled! That was also the end of our good weather. We have pouring rain as I type this, but thankfully not for 25 days! Hope you get a reprieve soon! 🙂
Are the warblers traveling through on their way south or do they winter with you? My lavender never thrived this year. I actually hadn’t realized that until I read your post. That wily woodchuck must have eaten it too.
I’m not sure about the warblers. I’ve never seen them in my garden before and had to look them up to identify them. I’ll have to see if they stick around. Sorry you didn’t get to enjoy any lavender this year. It’s one of my favorites and seems to thrive here on neglect.
Wow I don’t think I have ever seen warblers. They are pretty!
I’d never seen them before either! They were the most brilliant yellow birds I’ve ever had in my garden. 😊
