Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
I’m back from Hawaii but had this post prepared before I left. I thought I’d have more pictures to add, and I do but not many.
I’d visited Soos Creek Botanical Garden recently, not Sue’s Creek, looking for yellow and orange, since my own garden is sorely lacking in it, for the Sunday Stills Color Challenge.
I found plenty.
In the Sunflowers,


In yellow flowers I should know the name of but don’t.

In orange Dahlias,

some, heavy with heads bowed to the ground.

And in Anemones, what cute button centers!


I didn’t find much yellow or orange in Hawaii except of course, at sunset.


And that will have to do.
Be back later, with more from the islands!

Well you had me at sunflowers, Susanne! 🌻 There seem to be countless varieties of them. I like the red ones, and I grew a few teddy bears, i dont think they have seeds…
Oh, but your Hawaiian sunsets are stunning! Nothing like them! Welcome back to WA!
Thanks, Terri! Your sunflowers are hard to beat! I miss Hawaii but am also happy to be back home. ☺️😊

Love the sunflowers and the sunsets. We had another good one tonight!
Thanks, Graham. I miss Hawaiian sunsets!
Gorgeous colours! They just scream “Autumn is coming”!
Thank you! Hooray for Autumn! ☺️
Sunflowers always make me happy, especially seeing huge fields of them turning to face the sun.
Best wishes, Pete.
Me too, Pete. I love Sunflowers! 😊
It’s great to see these images brought together in the one post – beautiful tones in both the flowers and the sunsets 🌅 But among all the richer colours it’s the cool subtlety of those anemones that stands out for me!
Thanks so much, Sarah! I love those Anemones!
These are beautiful! Sunflowers and Dahlias are my favourite flowers!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed them!
OH HOW PRETTY
Thank you. 😊
You’re Very Welcome
Lovely!
