WHOLEFOODS, ANNAPOLIS - getting into the spirit of the season

RED CRANBERRIES, RED TULIPS, RED POINTSETTIAS, RED DRIED CHILLIES, RED POMEGRANATES

Fall colors - one of my favorite times of year

Most of the really spectacular vivid colors come from the Japanese Maples dotted around my garden, the vivid oranges and reds.  The bright yellow in the woods are Tulip Poplar and Sassafras trees.  The colors in these photos have not been enhanced or changed, the skies are really that blue and the red leaves glow in the afternoon sun - an exquisite display of nature.

Goodbye to the bright summer garden, oh you bloomed and blossomed for me!

 

Birthday flowers - they wanted bright, fun, multi-color party flowers!!!!

FALL - BONFIRE ON THE BEACH

FALL IS MUM TIME

FLOWERS

I had to do a few flower arrangements for a cocktail party at work - pre Boatshow in Annapolis.  These were for the food tables, photographed them at home before heading off to work for the day.  What a great way to start the day.  I picked all the hydrangeas out of my garden, snipped a few stems of coleus from my back patio containers, added lilies, sunflowers and eucalyptus.

FLOWERS - WORK DUTY CALLS!!

We hosted a pre-boatshow cocktail party at work, I had the pleasure of doing flowers for that, and these five little ones went onto boats on display.  What a great job I have - a few photos of the flowers to go on the boats, taken in my back garden.
