Wanting to see how things were going in the garden first thing this morning (though it wasn't exactly an early start), what caught my eye stepping into the bright sunshine was the snail trails across the pool cover.

I'm not a fan of these creatures, but their silvery cursive patterns are a thing of beauty -

The sun was filtering through still-lush green trees -

and the aggies are having a surprising autumn re-flowering. A second wind. 

It felt a bit sad to see the summer chairs looking forlorn under cover of falling dead leaves -
