September gems
Despite the nights drawing in and the temperatures falling September still has it's joys.....
The naturalistic garden at Knoll Gardens in Dorset is looking at it's best.
Walks in the evening allow us to watch the sun set......
and the moon rise over the sea.....
while watching and listening to the geese as they fly over head to find their evening meal.
Our favourite September joy however has to be our daughter who turns twenty one today.
Happy Birthday Hay!

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Sarah with your daugther and the pictures are beautiful i like the photo with the geese. Enjoy this day, greetings Petra.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured the scene beautifully here and happy birthday to your daughter too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for 'code tip' - I have had that in place for nearly two years but there are money making sites that remove it and use the photographs as their own sadly. Still it is not raining today!
Best wishes
Jenny

ReplyDeleteThatlooks a lovely garden, Sarah. I love that sort of planting. Your photos are beautiful as always and the ones of the sea are bringing back memories of our recent visit to Cornwall. Happy birthday to your daughter! xx

I love this time of year when it starts to get colder. Beautiful photos Sarah, I like the sunset ones and the one with the geese. Birthday wishes to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteI love Knoll Gardens, many of the grasses that I've grown over the years have come from there.
Their collection of grasses is fantastic - we came away with another one when we visited!

Beautiful garden photos - enjoy the 21st celebrations. Claire xo
ReplyDeleteSARAH! What a sweet photo of your daughter!! And 21? Really, where does the time go my dear? But when Septembers are this lovely, we have the chance to grasp the days and hold them close and never let go of the memories. I agree that even here, in my garden, the flowers have a different beauty to them this month; they are showing their BEST and most mature side. They had all summer to grow, now they are at their crowning glory.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy each walk on the beach. Anita
awww...happy birthdayto your lovely girl...my daughter is 21 in March next year...how they grow up!

She looks so cute sat there, where does the time go! Happy Birthday to your daughter! :) x
ReplyDeleteThat's a very handsome garden and the photo of the moon over the sea is peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet your daughter loves having that photo on the blog! Hope you all have a lovely day. On my 21st (almost too long ago to remember) my ma cooked me a big chocolate cake and my boyfriend at I and some friends went to Avebury and sat by the stones eating it and drinking champagne out of chipped mugs. Perfect :-)
With 21 years of photos to choose from, I know there are other photos which she would have found worse! Avebury must have been a unique place to celebrate your birthday! I got engaged to my husband on my 21st!

They are gems Sarah, and thank you for the link to Knoll Gardens (also a gem).
