A day late, and more than 1 dollar short 😆 (for those not familiar, that's an old expression, if you are not on time, and otherwise lacking- "A day late and a dollar short")- anyway, here's #FlowersOnFriday nothing new blooming at this season, but some of the regulars keep on trooping-and -slight cheat- other things looking good in #seed and #fruit !

Photo collage in 5 panels, two wide and shallow 1 top and 1 bottom. 3 narrow portrait orientation across middle. Top a mass of fine grassy foliage, green with purple hints and many scattered small bluey-pink 5 petalled flowers just at the top of or within the foliage. Centre left bright orange single poppy flower, crinkly petals as if they were packed in luggage then spread out, same for a white poppy on right. Centre is a stem with two upward facing medium blue-violet flowers with white n centre, kind of like little snapdragons. Bottom a large patch of flowers gone to fluffy seed heads over brown and gold foliage, lit by late day sun against bluey shadows, one cluster of deep red berries contrasts.

#AutumnColour with a bit of #sun and a good dose of #rain for #SixOnSaturday
One native plant -the Lysimachia - in an area of #MarginalGarden (in this case meaning a spot that was planted, mostly natives/near natives, then largely left to do its own thing), plus one non-native shrub left to its own (and the moose's!) devices -the Cornus-. The rest are #NativePlants wild on the acreage or just outside.
#foliage not quite #florespondence or #BloomScrolling but same folks might enjoy? #Alberta

Photo collage in 6 square panels, 3 across top, 3 across bottom. Framed in pale greeny gold in centre blending to warm grey brown top and bottom. Top left 2 wet mostly light green leaves with some near black bits and squiggles, the one in front has one small cluster of yellow blotches. Centre a variably deep burgundy bunchberry stem with a whorl of 6 leaflets attached at centre and a single orange-red berry. On top of it is a small 3 part trailing raspberry leaf, pale gold, and an even smaller partial leaf, interrupted oval, light grey-yellow, probably from snowberry. Around it are aspen and balsam poplar leaves ranging from green with black to faded to deep gold. Right tip of stem with several wet willow leaves in a mix of green and gold with prominent raised black dots. Bottom left 2 stems of wild bush cranberry, leaves from muted burgundy to light green mixed with pink. Centre partial view of 2 wet intense wine coloured dogwood leaves with light veins dark splotches and several green-white marks near stem. Right a stem of Lysimachia with shiny wet leaves in a mix of faded green with wine staining.

I've been making an #altar for #AutumnEquinox (and some of the other key #Solar dates) for some years now. Several years back it gained an extra level of meaning for me, as my Mother died at this time.
Now, the altar marks the #season : the richness of #fruit and #flower and #seed of remaining #green and burgeoning #AutumnColour as #Saule turns her face to the south and #LeafMother paints the world in jewel tones. (cont)

Photo collage in 6 panels, 2 vertical rows of 3 landscape orientation photos, framed in grey violet at top blending to blue grey, then coral blending to an earthy muted cranberry at bottom. Top left mostly flowers in pink and purple shades, Cranesbill, Scabious, Clover etc with clusters of red Bunchberries the word Life appears on this panel.. Right overview of altar, a wooden bench completely covered with potted small trees-spruce, poplar, willow and plants- sedge, cyclamen etc, plus leaves, grass in green and fall colour and many flowers and seed heads. this panel says Love. Centre left another close-up with many flowers such as yarrow and white bellflowers etc, surrounded by coloured leaves. this one says "Loss". Right- centre of altar, leaves and flowers surround a Mexican figure of the Virgin of Guadalupe in black clay, crowned with several kinds of berries. "Change". Bottom left gold and orangey fireweed stem with small golden apple-crab and red crab-apples plus a black and red stone. "Endure" Right a wild aster stem with bright gold leaves tipped in purple. "Grow"

A #SlowWalk for #SevenOnSunday (unlike a hike, a slow walk is not about going someplace, it is about
#being someplace -of course hikes *can* do this too).
Colours just starting to tip over into #autumn #LeafMother starts with the understory, forbs and shrubs and begins to dull the greens in preparation for the over the top displays to come.

Photo collage in 7 panels, two top, two bottom, 3 across middle. Framed in gold in centre blending to golden-green top / bottom. Top two photos:2 similar views across wetlands on the farm. Foreground is open area, seasonally/variably wet grass /sedgeland with variety of native forbs + introduced agricultural weeds. At this season it is +/- green, but bit by bit gradually shifting gold. Naturally and or browsed (cattle seasonally, moose all year) low willow + dwarf birch, grow out of the grass, gradually gaining density and height farther back in a zone less cattle impacted and/or not cleared for pasture for a long time. First a zone of willows/dwarf birch reaching a metre or couple , then taller willows, paper birch, poplars, spruce tamarack, then where the ground is a little higher, taller poplars, tamarack + spruce. Leaves are green sliding into gold tones. Sky is a bit hazy and lightly overcast, so that it has faded to near white in the photos. Centre left and right, close views of willow leaves already turned gold with some brown bits, red bits and bits still green. Centre a Petasites/Sweet Coltsfoot large leaf, oddly nearly immaculate and green still (they are often brown and disintegrated by autumn) Bottom two views into groves of young and rapidly growing Tamarack/Larch trees, their soft, feathery needles still fully green, with an understory of small willows and dwarf birch, many -along with the grass- showing some fall colour and/or already defoliated.
