It's on a Virginia Creeper, just turning from green to red, the range of colours on it at this time of year is amazing.

Autumn abstract...leaves in the garden.
Four images, close ups of parts of autumn leaves. Image 1 is a yellow leaf with black marking looking almost like patches of snakeskin. Image 2 is a bright green leaf with thick lines of soft brown. Image 3 has patches of green, yellow, orange and red, with grey patches appearing in areas that will become holes soon. Image 4 is a vivid pink leaf.

The Michaelmas Daisies (Asters) are in full bloom, fantastic flowers for pollinators at this time of year.
Photos show a long stretch of Michaelmas Daisies and the second image shows a Bee on a flower. The flowers have a yellow centre with many purple petals around it. The stem and leaves are a dark green.

I haven't read them yet but I know people who love them. I know someone visiting every location in the books.

Tower Bridge opens to let a barge through today, it was lovely to watch. What a piece of engineering, Tower Bridge is 131 years old this year.
Photo shows Tower Bridge, London. The bridge has two neo gothic towers, with arches and turrets. Between them is an open drawbridge at lower level and two walkways at high level (these now feature partial glass floors for those visiting to look down). A barge boat with a tall mast is sailing away from the bridge.

Down by the river...a walk along the Thames, London, today.
Photos show views of skyscrapers, boats and old buildings situated by the Thames river in London. The sky is a vivid blue in every photo.

Don't believe the nonsense from certain quarters...us Londoners are mostly just getting on with our lives in our beautiful, inclusive, diverse, tolerant, city. #London
Photos show views of London's Chinatown, canoeists on the Thames near Tower Bridge, a view across London, a London canal, a London pub on the banks of the Thames and also the Shard building

All of the sky range are very beautiful, think this one may be midnight sky.

A Petunia from the sky range, beautiful splash of colour in the garden.
An open flower, burgundy in colour with splashes that look like stars across it.

I never get an apple from the little tree, the Blue Tits peck them and then the Foxes and Squirrels steal them once they're ripe!
Photo shows a red apple on a small tree. It has a hole pecked by birds in it.

I find balls hidden all around the garden by the Foxes, this one is stashed behind my pond... Fox treasure.
Photo shows an old tennis ball in undergrowth

Love the early autumn fresh blue sky days.
Photo shows an English Oak tree in a stubble cornfield. The sky above is bright blue, with many clouds floating across.

If you want drought tolerant, UK winter surviving, low maintenance, pollinator friendly plants for a sunny space I can't recommend woody Salvias highly enough. These have been blooming for months now and will carry on well into autumn. Beautiful plants, I'm obsessed.
3 photos showing Salvias of different colours (purple/white, red, lilac). The woody Salvia is shrub like, it has many stems with dozens of small flowers on them.
