Thin Leaf Coneflower
. We are moving along swiftly through the month, my friends, and the days are getting so much shorter that it seems almost as if the sunset is appearing on the heels of the sunrise! That might be a slight exaggeration, but it points out to me one great advantage of this time of year, which is that we can usually get to see both in our day. Last Friday night’s sunset, for example, was extraordinary, with multiple layers of deep red between dark storm clouds. Unfortunately I was driving and not able to photograph it for you, but try to imagine it, if you can. Most sunrises these days are also rather lovely and I don’t have to be too much of an early bird to see them in all their splendour. Enjoy this season for that reason, as soon enough the days will stretch and we risk missing seeing one or the other of these splendid gifts. The lovely gold and brown thin leaf coneflower is just a warm reminder of days to come when the gorgeous blooming scenes around us are enough to compensate us for sunrises that are out of reach.

Another gorgeous ballerina outfit – the loose yellow skirt enhanced by a tinge of red around the waist and topped by a brown velvet tufted bodice. YSL, Coca Chanel, Alexander MacQueen and their ilk would vye to put their initials on this creation along with an exorbitant price. Thank you, Ellie, for bringing it us gratis, very best price of all.
It’s my pleasure, as always, Janet, to highlight high fashion in its most natural form, totally without artifice. Thank you for always being there to admire it. Nothing beats free, certainly as far as beauty is concerned.
Thanks so much Ellie. Such a contrast between the bright yellow petals and the dark brown center. But there’s nothing prettier than a whold patch of those flowers. Really a whole patch of any flowers is beautiful. Thanks again for sharing hope you have a great day. Hugs to you and Steve.
So true, a whole patch of flowers is lovely, whatever flower it is. Thanks again, Linda. I’m glad you liked this. From tomorrow the days will start getting longer, so enjoy the sunrises when we can still see them!
