Yesterday's Walk Around the Yard

Here it is towards the end of September and we are still dealing with 90 degree weather.  One nice change has been the nights......actually dropping below 70s (at least for a few nights).

Being a rather pleasant day, thought I would take a walk around the yard...taking photos to be sketched recording what's going on right now this time of year.

Our Loquat tree is flowering as it gets close to producing its fruit; oranges are green and about the size of baseballs; lemons are mostly green but some are turning yellow; Azaleas are showing new growth from trimming; and Camellias just now forming buds to flower during the Winter.   Bougainvilleas, Vincas, and Hibiscus are still going strong.  Our Curcumas and Caladiums are starting to fade.

Here are a couple of pages, so far....
