Sunday music: Lyle Lovett (coming to town)
The day in 50 seconds
Fiddling around with time-lapse from still images. This is from Saturday — a gray, rainy morning followed by sun and clouds and finally the sun setting over the ridge. Some Photoshopping of the individual images — especially early and late in the day. But you can see how the changing light affects how the garden and ridge look, for example with the backlighting of the grasses toward the end of the day.

Weekend pix: Seasons change
It’s official. It’s fall. The signs are everywhere.
I can’t wait to add some fall pix to my time-lapse stack.
Love the way this hybrid hazelnut colors up next to the driveway.
The ornamental grasses are coming into their own.
More colchicum. Looks like I have four decent patches, three different varieties.
Aconitum (monkshood) finally flowering, a sure sign of fall.
Elephant ears starting to lose their chlorophyll, with a little backlighting.
Miscellany
In case you missed it this week, Zonker and Zipper explore the erotica that is bulb catalogs. You can view Start with Monday’s strip and work you’re way through the week by clicking on the next tab.

Email from UPS says my bulb order arrives Tuesday.
While shooting pix the other day I heard the tell-tale squawks of crows harassing a hawk, then they flew right overhead.

Colchicums at Billie Jean Isbell’s garden. Billie Jean hosted our first fall 2009 program of the Adirondack Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society. Love her garden.
On Billie Jean’s barn, ‘Flying fish’ sculpture that looks to be fashioned from a piece of warped slapwood.
