My Chauffeuse was out today with her sisters.
I spent much of the morning reading more of “Clarissa” and took a walk round the garden this afternoon.
My intention was to focus on fuchsias, such as
Delta’s Sarah;
Army Nurse;
Magellicana;
and Hawkshead,
but I was distracted by various dahlias;
roses, for example Ernest Morse;
and sinuous Virginia Creeper’s varicoloured clothing.
As usual at this time of year I became prey to spiders hoping for something tasty to fill their winter larders. This one didn’t finish up about my person.
WordPress comments and likes seemed to run quite smoothly today, but when I came to write the post I realised that this had been a con by the gremlins.
This evening we dined on second helpings of yesterday’s Chinese takeaway with similar beverages.
Totally gorgeous photos! I didn’t realise that there are white fuchsias.
Thank you very much, Sheree
Gorgeous photos, and wonderful spider on the web.
I’m sorry the WP gremlins continue to be tiresome.
Thank you very much, Merril.
Wonderful pictures. I was impressed to learn there is an Army Nurse fuschia. Didn’t know fuschia grew in English gardens
There are more varieties in the warmer parts, like ours, Pat. Thanks very much
I can understand why you got distracted haha. They are all gorgeous!
Thank you so much, Luanne
Great pictures, Derrick. But, I do tend to notice that the gremlins are always handing us one glitch or another.
Thanks a lot, GP
I much prefer flowers to spiders! I love the Virginia Creeper.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Thank you for the photographs. I always liken the delicate flowers to tiny ballerinas. Cheers.
Thanks very much, Joy. We have a little rambling rose called Ballerina
Fuchsias! ❤️ Fantastic fabulous flowery fhotos! 🙂 (Ha on fhotos instead of photos! I wanted to keep the f- alliteration going! 😀 )
OOH…that spider is handsome…but I prefer it far far far away from me! 😉
UGHS on the WP gremlins! 🙁
(((HUGS))) for the UGHS!!! ❤️
Thank you so much, Carolyn X
Those gremlins are sneaky. Aren’t they?
They are, Thanks very much, Chrissy
I do enjoy seeing the garden looking so healthy.
Thank you so much, Sue
I didn’t know there were more than one color fuscia! So beautiful.
Feed the gremlins to the spiders
What a good idea, Rose. Thank you very much.
I love fuchsias, but they are one of those plants that refuse to thrive in our yard.
We are so lucky – our climate is so mild in comparison. Thanks very much AnneMarie
Our summers are nice. Maybe it is because we get so much wind here?
We also experience gale force winds quite often, but in general, just here, we are warmer than the rest of the country
Ours do not tend to be gale force (although we do get some strong winds). But ours are relentless.
The photograph of the Virginia creeper is frame-worthy, Derrick – and I love the highlighted spider!
Thank you very much, Anne
I am very sorry to hear that the gremlins are still plaguing you. It seems most unfair. Have they got no-one else to annoy
I’m. reading of the same problems all over the world, Tootlepedal. Thanks very much
I had a lot of problems with making comments recently but that seems to have passed (I hope).
Darn those gremlins! Beautiful flowers. And I never mind seeing spiders in the garden.
Thanks a lot, Laurie
Stunning photos sir
Thanks very much, Gary
Your photographs are gorgeous, Derrick. Thanks for sharing!
Much appreciated, Jill
How gorgeous Derrick!
Thank you very much, Cindy
Beautiful close ups of the flowers and the spider!
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Your fuchsias are stunning, Derrick.
Thank you so much, Alys.
I enjoyed your flowers today. The photo of the Virginia creeper looks like a painting. Even the spider with her web is beautiful.
Thank you very much, Nicki
So many beautiful ,colours as we move into autumn
Thank you very much, John
I am such a sucker for fuschias. I like the Ballet Girl especially.
One wonders why people perservere with WordPress, especially when they have paid for a domain.
Lovely photos, Derrick. I am sorry to hear about the WordPress gremlins.
Thanks very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Great pictures Derrick, I like the blooms but especially the spider.
Thank you so much, Andrew
The flowers look beautiful, Derrick and Jackie. Your sunny spider looks quite cheery. I like them. 🙂
Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia
I am always distracted by your glorious roses, Derrick. During the holiday, we met a young man who had worked on WP AP designing, as his Master’s thesis. I made sure to ask him who has let the gremlins loose. Sadly, he was a bit too inebriated to do anything but laugh.
Beautiful photos ? and that spider ?️ on my ?
Thank you so much, Ribana
Glorious!!! These were taken before the storm, right?
Right, Jan. Thanks very much
Very beautiful.
Thanks very much, Andy
Your Virginia Creeper’s colours are just amazing!
Thank you very much, Aletta. They could cover quite a few of your colour prompts
Absolutely so! ?
