Peeping from under the giant leaves-a squash growing and ripening. I was beginning to worry that none would ripen in time as the weather has turned cool and windy and I think they need more sun to mature. But this one, and the one below are at the beginning of this giant plant, and had been quietly getting larger without me noticing.
Sunset apples seen over the fence.
And a collection of clouds in the sky just behind.
So many lovely things to see and all in my garden. Thank you for the kind comments yesterday about my paintings!

Love your last shot, the sky looks very Autumnal.
Poor Sunflowers!End of Summer for them.
Such a pity about the sunflowers
but you are right the birds will enjoy them!
Oh, that last photo.. the cloud formation and light...*swoon*... But what a pity about your sunflowers. Such joy to see the squash though--it's beautiful! It looks a bit like a Turk's Cap variety. The "leftovers" of hurricane Irene blew through here--no damages, thankfully, but the garden is a mess...*sigh*... Happy Weekend, Sarah ((HUGS))
Our fence is a gonner, never mind the plants! Oh, well, another job to do...
The squash is very impressive, nothing much has come of my gardening this year. Too much dull and rainy weather I think. But the roses have loved it!
Your squash (squashes??)are beautiful. What a shame about the sunflowers, though - they were so gorgeous. I expect they'll self-seed - you'll have a forest next year;-)
I've missed some of your posts so have been reading back through them.
Do you remember powder paints? The black was always difficult to mix.
Winchelsea looks charming - I like that part of the country.
Our garden is looking tatty now - time for the autumn tidy up. Well done on the squash - I once grew a pumkin, but it didn't get very big. Hopefully the birds will enjoy the sunflowers.
Clouds look ripe, time to harvest them!
LOVE your little squash- what a cutie!
