¡Feliz Día de los Muertos!
Remembering & celebrating loved ones today ❤️💀🌺🌼🌹🥀🍹💃🏻

#DíaDeLosMuertos #DayOfTheDead
A jack-o’-lantern, or carved pumpkin with, a very cheery face. The eyes and nose are stars, and the mouth is a crescent, looking like a smile, and also representing the moon and the stars. There is a candle inside the pumpkin glowing, and the lighting around it is red. This was our Halloween pumpkin and also our day of the dead pumpkin :-)

And who is this? Someone please tell me because I don’t know 😂
A mannequin with a pumpkin head, standing in a lovely autumnal front yard. They are supposed to be some kind of a Canadian celebrity… They have long black hair, a black rockstar kind of jacket, a low-cut silky pink shirt, some black track pants with embellishments, and white rubber boots. And I’m not sure who this is supposed to be…

Happy #Halloween 🎃🌱 This year‘s neighborhood theme is #Canada… Can you guess who each of the #pumpkin people are?
A pumpkin headed girl with long orange braids and an old-fashioned blue dress, holding a basket and standing by a constructed railroad track. The girl is a homemade life-size doll and she’s in a beautiful fall setting, standing in a yard in front of a historic red brick house. A handsome pumpkin-headed man wearing a gray suit holding a fake microphone, with a few boxes of bubbly water at his feet. The man is actually a life-size doll and the setting is a front yard. Three more homemade pumpkin head men… Also standing in a front yard in front of an old house. One man has athletic clothing on, one a plaid shirt and thick glasses, the other has dark hair and a black outfit. The last Pumpkin head person is man kind of lying down, wearing all black and he has sunglasses on… And there are three corn cobs floating above him.

I love this sentiment, and made this piece a while back, inspired by the Zen teachings of my Shodo Sensei: you are born with nothing, and you die with nothing, so be brave :-)

Special blend 💖
it’s been delightful seeing my #cosmos mix, and collecting the seeds for next year 🌱
Unique pink Cosmo flower with soft white streaks and a lovely yellow center. There is a white chain-link fence in the background and some shimmering green foliage from the sunshine.

Virginia creeper in its #autumn glory, brightening my stroll down an alley in southern #Ontario. 🌱🍁
A fall scene of an alley with lots of plants and green hedges and an old laneway house with bright red Virginia creeper covering one side and spilling over onto the fence. It’s garbage and recycling day, so there are bins out for that as well as for green waste. There is also a no parking sign and a bright yellow sign indicating that children may be playing in this ally, so drive with care.

Happy Monday & enjoy the fall blooms 💕🌱
A beautiful pink hibiscus flower with a red center. This plant came from a seed from a white flowered plant. It seems they like to revert back to pink!

Flowers bloom to give & receive 🌱 #nature #cosmos
A beautiful pink cosmos flower with round petals. In the center it is yellow and there is a little bee. We have a lot of cosmos that have cross pollinated and created amazing originals!

An original 🌱
Just like you 💕
A gorgeous pink Cosmo flower with almost a singular pleated petal and yellow in the center. It’s a mix between a white cupcake variety, pink sensation, and apricot sunset I believe… I’ve been saving seeds from my most interesting and unusual cosmos as they’ve been combining over the past three years.

Last day of summer 💛🌱 #enjoy #nature
A man walking on a sandy trail in a conservation area in southern Ontario Canada. The scene is kind of savannah-like and open, and it’s near the Grand river. There are native plants and a few shrubs on the horizon and a blue sky with lovely clouds.

Tiny flowers 💕 🌱

A cloud of tiny pink/purple little flowers caught my eye as I was walking by… it’s late in the season and I’m in a temperate zone in North America.

Good morning 🌞 Buen día 💚 🌱#inbloom #peachy #nasturcium
A beautiful single nasturtium flower with peachy tones that include soft yellow and orange and red streaks. I always try to find varieties and save seeds from ones that are subtle in their color, like this one.

It’s toad lily time 🌱 #blooming #now #gardensky
A cute six petal flower that looks like it’s from outer space with its strange interior and speckled petals, surrounded by vibrant green foliage. This one has lovely variegated leaves with a yellow highlight around the edge. Grown in my temperate zone 5/6 shade garden.
