 It always amazes me how soon we forget the glory of our summer garden as soon as Jack Frost descends in the fall. I was editing some picture last night when this image suddenly appeared in a folder of new photos. I don't have any idea how it got there as I haven't seen or thought of it for months. I took that as a sign to share the picture today. After all, why else would it simply show up in a folder with no earthly explanation?
This is a photo of one of my garden mums. I edited the background to black and white to highlight the beauty of the flower. As you may know, I recently took up photography with the goal of taking my own garden pictures for this site and for other gardening articles I publish. I got the camera too late in the year to capture this season's flowers, but I am looking forward to next summer when I can capture Maine Wildflowers in their natural environment. I hope my little mum brought you a smile today as we walk the path toward winter. Until next time . . . Happy Gardening!

If you are anything like I am, you probably hate being bombarded by ads when you visit your favorite sites. That's why I want to keep Maine Garden Ideas free of commercial ads. To do that, I need your support. I've signed up for Patreon to allow followers to donate a little as $1 a month (although you can donate more if you like) to help keep the site free of ads and allow me to create new content for you.
The slideshow above explains what Patreon is and how you can become a patron. If you prefer to skip the slideshow and go straight to my profile you can do that too. Remember for only $1 per month you can help create a valuable resource for everyone to enjoy.  Everyday I head out with my camera to photograph flowers and insects. I'm never sure what I will encounter and am constantly amazed to see Mother Nature's handiwork up close. Sometimes I am struck with awe, but what I caught to today made me laugh out loud when I reviewed in the LCD screen.
This tiny flower is no bigger than the nail on your pinkie and grows several inches from the ground. I don't know if they all look like a smiling ghost, but this one does to me and I couldn't help but think he was just in time for Halloween. Until Next Time . . . Happy Gardening! |
