1 Our September garden has a delicate pinkness about it which has taken me by surprise as pink is not my favourite colour. However, each flower is just beautiful.
Japanese Anemone
Wall Daisies
Kaffir Lily
2 I love owls and was delighted to be sent this photograph. How I would love a bench like this! I think there are 15 owls…….

3 Commenting on El Guapo’s blog recently, I was reminded of an exchange visit I made to Toulouse when I was seventeen. I spoke a few weeks ago of first meeting The Little Prince on that trip. I was also lucky enough to be introduced to the poetry of Jacques Prévert and loved this one though the falling of the horse always concerns me. I love the alliteration of the L sound and am very fond of the sound of soleil and feuilles. Just a beautiful poem.
L’Automne
Un cheval s’écroule au milieu d’une allée
Les feuilles tombent sur lui
Notre amour frissone
Et le soleil aussi.
Autumn
A horse collapses in the middle of an alley
Leaves fall on him
Our love trembles
And the sun too.
Translation by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
PS As I’ve looked at the preview there seems to be space for an advert. It seems I have to pay more to have these removed………

That is a very shade of pink in the kaffir lily – ours are deep pink.

We have some deep pink ones too but I don’t like them! I do love the very pale pink ones. 🙂

Owls, my favourites, but I love them all, birds that is. Had a great time photographing some of my recent visitors, including the bees and butterflies that invaded my garden last week during a real roaster of a week, weather-wise. Loved your pictures.

Your pink flowers are gorgeous and remind me of our spring 🙂

Love your pink garden, mine is completely yellow with rudbeckia and sunflowers, soon to be covered in orange, red, yellow leaves & mums. Although the grass still needs mowing once a week!

I love the bench and you don’t have to fret, there is no advert or rather I haven’t seen one

I love the kaffir lily and the owl bench. Add my name to the list of those wanting the bench.

I especially like the anemone and the bench. I want one, too. 🙂
