Look at this landscape I captured in my travels. Taking pictures is therapy for me, as well as a wonderful excuse to go for a walk, get fresh air, sunshine and vitamin D.

The clouds were spectacular that day, an assortment of every type imaginable. Downloading pictures from the camera is one of my favourite things to do. A little background music sets the mood, while I open my keepsakes.

September rains have come. This is one of my dahlia blooms. I grew them and many more are yet to come. The dahlia bush is almost five feet high, the blooms are slowly opening. I have my order in for an Indian summer reprieve, and I may see sweet peas too!

Birds are plentiful at the feeders. I saw a beautiful chartreuse green finch yesterday. The greens are fading on the trees and the trunks are dark from the rain. Leaves have begun to litter the gutters.

Now is my time for regrouping, taking stock and setting intentions. Still doing some clearing, and I will soon be offering a clearance on some of my fine art pieces on Facebook. If you are on Facebook, please join me on my Facebook page to keep up with the latest developments here.
