Summer winding down
There's no doubt about it - fall is quickly approaching Ontario. a few shore birds are leaving the Arctic and traveling across central Ontario; many wildflowers have already gone to seed; and - to add insult to injury - the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE - an annual event) oprned in Toronto last Friday. YIKES! Where has the summer gone?
In my gardens this week:
Largest quare: white butterflies drinking nectar from the blossoms of Russian sage
Moving closckwise: hollyhocks, wild sunflowers, cranesbill geranium "Rozeanne," Echinacea (a named variety but I forget which one) and Japanese anemone (another variety forgotten at the moment).
Please visit Michelle at Rambling Woods for more NATURE NOTES.

Such bright & sunny flowers in your garden. All I have are some tiny red roses, which the drought is trying very hard to kill.
Beautiful series, sad though that the summer is coming to a close...
Wonderful colors here. Better keep this to remind you when things turn white! :)
wonderful flower macros, the colors are so pretty and sharp . i saw a tiny butterfly like this one yesterday. it looked just like this, but was about the size of my thumbnail... we have these here but I have not seen a tiny one before.
Lovely colorful images, the one with butterfly is my favorite. :)
greetings.
such beautiful color!
Wow! Colorful, cheers me up totally!
You captured such a great feeling of the end of summer with your photo collage.

Lovely as usual! The Ex opened last Friday - yikes!!
Yes, summer is truly waning. The flowers are still doing their thing though. Beautiful mosaic!
gorgeous flowers and that butterfly is stunning. I think summer is passing way too swiftly.
Lovely colors and beautiful flowers. Your collage is lovely. Thanks for sharing, have a happy week!
Summer went by far too fast! I love the gorgeous blooms throughout the collage - at least we've got this to look back at when winter arrives:)
What a beautiful mosaic this is!
Truly the picture of summer.
I saw my first yellow leaf fall from a tree yesterday. Love the moth shot.
What a garden! The colors alone lift my spirits!
Lovely colors and array of flowers.
They are beautiful blooms of almost the same flower morphology and characteristics. I wonder if that is governed by the temperatures too
You seem to have considered something for every season in your garden. Lovely photos!
I'm ready for fall. It's my favorite season. Nice collage!
=)
