scenes : in autumn
A floral frenzy! Anyone would think it was spring with all the colour and blooms bursting from gardens in our street.
/ these lilac flowers grow from tall stems and fall almost as soon as they bloom.
/ never underestimate the joy that a 50c pair of giant fairy wings can bring. Found in the op-shop earlier today, they are glittery and fanciful and so very, very pink.
/ the cool green/grey of a succulent against dark tiles.
/ one glance and you can see all her mischievous intentions.
/ fallen camellias in the prettiest shade of baby pink. And a single daisy.
/ it has rained, occasionally, and I’ve been grateful for this gorgeous raincoat – light-weight and easy enough to carry around in my bag on those just-in-case days. Poet looks so much like her little English twin here.
That succulent is amazing, Jodi. Do you know its name? I've never seen anything like that.

I don't know but I'll try and find out for you x
I don't know about the succulent (I thought crassula, but looked up the pictures and couldn't find a match!!), but the beautiful purple blooms are from a Tree Dahlia. I blogged about them a couple of years ago here: http://stonefruitseason.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/the-garden-of-33rd-house-tree-dahlias.html At that stage they were one of many plants on a list to put in the garden of the house we were building. I'm delighted to say we have one in bloom right now.
p.s. Beautiful photos!
Beautiful photos! I love the one with the typical Autumn leaf that Poet is holding up 🙂 Everly loves to collect those on our walks. I've been meaning to ask you Jodi – where did you buy the yellow wellies that Poet is wearing? I need to buy Everly some new gumboots and I'm underwhelmed by everything in the stores – I just want something simple.
They are Bergstein boots from Fawn & Fox (a current sponsor over on the sidebar – fawn on green trees). They last and last and last (and I always buy a size up so they fit for a while). Che wore his navy pair for close to 2 years and they are still in good condition for Poet to grow in to x
Simply beautiful! I love coming here. Thank you. Kenza.
Those are some fabulous fairy wings. She's a delight!
so beautiful Jodi. love Poet in all those shades of pink
Wow, that really could be Josephine!! I showed Ben and he thought it was for a moment. Beautiful pictures, as always Jodi. xx
I've never seen Poet in so much pink! She is a beautiful fairy. Gorgeous photos as always Jodi.
I'd like to check out that real life photo blog that you were participating in with other mothers… I can't remember what it is called, and I don't see a link here… What was it called again?
Hi there! I've just discovered your blog and have fallen swiftly in love. I'm Australian but living in London and it is so nice to read your words and see your beautiful pictures… they're stunning and really refreshing! I will definitely be back!!!
Such a beautiful season! And what a treat to view it already through your photos while were still in Spring here in the Netherlands.
