Little Surprises and Pleasures of Late Summer #WordlessWednesday

From the past couple of weeks, the world around me.

I was wondering if my one autumn crocus, which showed up, unplanted by me, last year, would bloom.  I had seen its leaves back in the spring.  Last week, it just showed up. I took this picture last Thursday.  Now this bloom is fading, but another is springing up.  Happiness!

Friday, this one tree that has decided to turn color.  But color is showing in other trees, now.

September 11, we were at the complex where our farmers market (building shown) is located for a class, and there was a hot air balloon in the sky.
Rare success, I photographed a yellow garden spider and its web in one of our community garden raised beds after almost running into it with my hand.

What has your week been like?  Good, I hope.

    That's a very pretty autumn crocus. Mine are just the plain simple petalled, this is ruffly. Mine appeared too, in a clump in a raised bed I built. Some of the soil was moved from the yard though, so they might have been in that from the previous owners.

    Love that tree and the garden spider. Those spiders always seem to turn up at this time of year and they are very welcome in my world.

    That spider is pretty. I love the crocus, so pretty. Purple and blue flowers are my favorite.
