Autumn gardening

I've been outside in the garden today tidying up the fading summer plants and vegetables. With my warmest jumper and wellington boots on I braved the autumn weather to cut down the dead flowers and dying leaves, I picked the last of the tomatoes and sweet peas too.

The garden is starting to look a little bare and lacking in colour. I packed away my gardening tools and went inside to the warmth where I made a brew and drew this picture. I used lots of bright colours as I dreamed of sunnier days and a garden of springtime flowers!

Only 6 months to go and I should have a garden full of flowers again!


Have a great day and Steem on!

Absolutely beautiful @opheliafu . I went to see my Mum today, who’s recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. My Nephew and Dad were trimming the buses and shrubs on probably one of the last fare days of the year, here in Manchester, UK.
I need to print this for Her if that’s ok? xxx

Yes, with my blessings.

very beautiful flowers @opheliafu i will also draw it later :) if you are not too busy please you visit my blog to see it :)

Have fun drawing :D

Beautiful art. Hope to see your garden in 6 months time @opheliafu. Following you.

I took lots of pictures this summer which i didn't share, maybe on a cold snowy day when i need some colour I'll dig them out!

That will be beautiful. Keep up the good work

Dreaming of Spring and Autumn is barely upon us! Beautiful flowers nonetheless, Fall can surely be depressing

Not if you take a walk in the woods- a blanket of colour!

congratulations for this beautiful work dear friend @opheliafu, you have put in her very delicate touches and bright colors, which makes it a precious work, thank you very much for capturing the spring in this tarbajo
I wish you a wonderful day

Yes, I turned up the colour in this piece!

So delicate! I love your art! Have a great night!

Thank you so much!

Very nice garden to flourish more and more for this more beautiful soon.

I am fond of winter- which is fortunate living in the UK! But a bit more colour would be lovely. I have stunning red and orange berries on some of my trees and bushes, I planted them for the enjoyment of the birds in winter.

Good in Venezuela the winter is rain and rain that luck you have that in your country is joy and color ... in my house I have roses but they do not give me and in the end Die :(

very much liked dreaming of springtime. so i set it as my desktop background.

That's cool!

I love your flower - mandalas!!

They feel a little bit like that, yes.

@opheliafu Your imagination has painted colorful and alive flowers on my screen! Cheers 🌻

Hopefully they are not invasive, or you won't be able to see your screen in a couple of days!

@opheliafu I find your reply funny haha! your paintings are really good!

These are beautiful and colorful flowers... congrats!

Thank you very much!

I can't wait for Spring to start, I have lots off garden plans, it will be as colourful as your picture :)

Crikey- you have thrown yourself into this gardening malarkey!

I have been busy this year. Lol My daughter is now on here, @jlou. :)

Every cycle in life has it's purpose and actually you helped nature reborn by cleaning dried plants in the garden...
I just imagine how they were thanking you and promising giving you the best view and gifts the next Spring 🌱

I harvested all the seeds ready to resow for next year, so it should be blooming lovely!

good works!

Thank you!

The Mountain Ash or Rowan (I think?) gives colour into the winter with its red berries in clumps and clusters.

Also, Sea-Buckthorn has clumps of orange berries at this time of year. Vibrant colours and food for the birds too. If I find any seedlings from any of my trees, I'll bring them to you next time we visit ❤️

beautiful and awesome painting, you have a lot talent!
I am artist too, if you can see my drawing would be great
