Late Fall's colors

The Dahlias are still cheerful bright, but will not last if we would get a little frost!

The decorative grasses are very popular in this area.


Walking in the afternoon sunshine it is a elightful feeling that the air is still so mellow!


The variety of the MUMS as they call it here is
just unbelievable!
One has to think about
those good gardeners who are the creators
of this variety!


The flag was down on this day to remember our Soldiers who sacrificed their life for the Freedom of the World

Here you can see from a distance how nicely we live in an order as the good gardeners planted us in the Spring.


aturally we have huge size flowers to make you amazed what a Dahlia can be.


This is at the edge of the Dahlia Garden and we nicely blend into the neighbouring trees with the pretty ripe red berries at this time


We are the Pinks so popular in Dahlia Bouquets


We are not so big, not so unusual, but we are also the member of the Fantastic Dahlia Family










Marvel of Dahlias

It is black all right! There were always a fascination about a black flower
From a closer look with lot of sunshine this is the Black Dahlia!






The human manipulations results can be really amazing




This was a more serious looking flower




A lovely pink said Hello! and smiled

ON THIS DAY of a surprise





































the sun was hazy and it was very quiet on the beach. Some hungry birds were talking about the good old days of summer when the beach goers gave them plenty of food, but summer was over more or less.
I had my camera all wound up to take pictures even when there is nothing to see.
But wait! Hold your horses because surprise comes as a surprise. Just one couple was sitting near the parking where I got out of the car with my camera in hand. The man waived at me very enthusiastically to come closer to them.
And than the SURPRISE was there in a magnificent most beautiful parrot called the yellow-blue macaw! And was just so big, very friendly and a very loving animal. The Lady was the owner and told me that this was born in this country 14 years ago so he is not "wild". Certainly not, because he was a mighty tender kisser, also would give his "foot" to you to greet you! I could not believe about his unusual kind of behavior! They let me hold him on my arm, he lovingly stepped to my hand and he was very "heavy". Fat bird they said. But his plumage was never seen before deep colored and shiny in good health!

The surrounding seagulls were just admiring the show and patiently waiting for their turn to come. And if you wait, the "thing" will come.
The lovely couple slowly packed up and with "Angel" they started to go home, not far from here.
The patiently waiting seagulls gotten closer to me because they new the camera and with that the coming food.
Took some pics until the loaf bread lasted and than said good by after such an amazing event of the day.
