Fall is coming on strong as I write this, but there are still some dahlias doing their thing, and and the roses seem to love this weather. Some of the clematis are doing well, and one of the scarlet runner bean plants has produced a bean. Linda was wondering if we should ceremonially harvest and eat it. There's a couple lilies still blooming, but overall it's getting to be slim pickings for the bees. I hope they've got enough stored away in their hives to keep going till spring.
This year is another example of how fall really is the best season in Calgary. The days are mostly warm and sunny. The nights are mostly warm enough to keep the plants going, although Linda has covered her plants a few times. The leaves are turning gold, making for lots of autumn landscapes.
The flowery photos are from June 4 to June 17

Of the Day
Curtis has been in my face a lot lately, but not on camera. He's grumpy about how much time I spend looking into screens, even if he has a lap at the same time.

Wonderful collection of forms, especially 6, 8, 16, 17. The blue in 11 is stunning. Cheers, Sean
