Dahlia: Flower of the Day, Oct. 13, 2016

I went down to the studio to work, but instead got intrigued by the new flowers that have popped up during a time when I’ve been too busy to go down to enjoy them.  Most of the dahlias and zinnias are past their prime, but this one was still gorgeous.  I’ll do a macro of it tomorrow.

Calendula officinalis (Pot Marigolds) Flower of the Day, Oct. 9, 2016

Mums or Marigolds? anglogermantranslations says they are marigolds.  I couldn’t decide which they were, so labelled them as mums.  What do you think?  I’m always willing to alter a misconception.  At any rate, when I think of October, I think of Homecoming corsages and that means mums, so in the spirit of autumn, I will dedicate this photo to chrysanthemums even if it is marigolds. After many votes either way, I received a comment from variegatus so scientific and thorough that I am changing the title of this post to Marigold.  Definitely marigold.  See that information below in the comments section, and if you want to view other flowers as well, see Cee’s and other flowers HERE.

Newest Bloom: Flower of the Day, Oct. 8, 2016

Can anyone identify this newest bloom in my flowerpot?  It has taken this perch for its own, for some reason, although it doesn’t look like it can be too comfortable. He is usually lying down in it, tennis ball in his jaws. The rest of the act is to drop his tennis ball into the pool from it and then dive in after it, swim to the side and haul himself out, then repeat.  And repeat. And repeat.  He did this 11 times in one hour the other day when I was in the pool exercising… then another 5 times when I was inside at my computer.  He noses the ball closer and closer and lets it roll back a bit each time, then suddenly rolls it enough to tip the balance and it goes into the pool. Then if I don’t retrieve and throw it for him, he jumps in and retrieves it himself. This is what you do when your mom won’t throw more than 30 pitches for you in a row. https://ceenphotography.com/2016/10/07/flower-of-the-day-october-8-2016-dahlia/

Hydrangea: Flower of the Day Oct. 5, 2016

These look like fall leaves, but really are hydrangeas variously altered by the cold weather, I’d guess.  Taken at my niece Cintra’s home in St. Paul.

Marigolds at the Beach: Flower of the Day, Oct. 2, 2016

Frida and I took a stroll on the San Juan Cosala Malecon today and found these beauties growing by a makeshift beach lean-to restaurant.  So vivid against all the paler colors.  More photos of that stroll in a later blog.

The flower garden around the house used as a backdrop in “American Gothic” by Grant Wood has definitely gone into its autumn mode. Click on photos to enlarge.
