Our Garden in Autumn

 With the weather being so unusually warm for this time of year, Autumn,the garden and birdlife is confused.
The leaves on the trees are not turning to gold and falling.
The birds are still coming into the garden to drink and bathe in the cool water of the birdbath.  I fill this from our rainwater tank. I'm sure the birds appreciate water without fluoride.

 This lovely black an white bird which I have forgotten the name,( It's like a small Magpie)comes here every day with its mate.
She is sitting in the Asian Bell tree drying off after her bath.  Her mate is still in the bath.

 I had to take these photo's through the glass,so as not to scare them away. 


One in the bath and the other drying off.

 The trees and flowers are still blooming.  This Tree Burgonia,never stops,along with the one on the opposite side of this part of the garden.


I am sorry about the  quality of this picture, I took it through the glass of the sun room, so that I didn't frighten the birds.

 I love statues in the garden,but having such a small space have to limit to a few.

 The Arbour in the background has supplied us with green beans for the whole of summer and still giving us a few each day.

 You can see sweet peas starting to climb up towards the purple pot below. It's so early for these to come up. Very strange behaviour.

 The  white Hibiscus is taking over from the other four. along the back fence.

He is waiting patiently for his mate to dry off and join him

I hope you all had a lovely weekend
