Empty Nest Gardens before a freeze

The weatherman has forecast an artic freeze for Thursday so I grabbed the camera and took a few pictures before the Empty Nest blooms are gone.

I love having blooming roses in November.

The leaves on the oak trees were so beautiful this year, the most color I can ever remember.

In the greenhouse the Bird of Paradise is still blooming.

 The greenhouse is absolutely jammed packed with plants.  I always try to save everything from the killing frost.  After Thanksgiving I will have to take cuttings of some of the plants and try to downsize a little so I can get inside the greenhouse to work....lol. 

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.  I will be hosting 11 at my house.  Let us all be thankful for the many blessings in our lives.

Until next time,

Fun with Kaleidoscopes

It has been a while since I posted new kaleidoscopes.  I recently purchased a new Filigree template that I can use in my Kaleidoscope Kreator 3 software.  Here are a few of the pictures I have created.

The picture above was created using a photograph of a castor bean seed pod.

This was created using a picture of a coleus plant.

This was created from the photograph below. 

Nosey, our female cat.

And this is our male cat, Brutus.  I used a simple circular kaleidoscope template.

Enjoy your weekend,
