The happiest flowers in my garden in this cool autumn are the marigolds. We also have mums, white alyssum, snapdragons, rudbeckia and a solitary pink rose. The last of the summer impatiens died this past week.
I saw a neighbor had red and pink carnations that were still showing color.
If you take the dried up marigold buds, open them to reveal the seeds, then sprinkle them in your yard, next spring you will have a renewed treat.

What do you see in my daughter’s drawing? I can only guess myself. I will consult with her by Monday to find out what she was trying to depict. Have fun with this.

I am planning to do another one of those “What Do You See” posts this weekend. And I may participate in the Weekend Reflections meme.
I decided to play a bit with the Live Trace tool in Illustrator and came up with this version of one of my photos of the Highland Park Farmer’s Market. I want an illustration for my upcoming soup post, though this one won’t be it. But the tool has potential for other projects.
For more on the Live Trace tool, see this Illustrator tutorial.
