Indian Summer Golden Evening - Providence Farm

The Bluebirds have a field and mountain view from their box. I never get tired of shooting this field in all seasons and weather.

 A Sunflower 'tree' springing from the the very rich soil of the Farm's compost heap.

Yes that truly IS the Size of that Sunflower plant and head!
I guesstimated it to be at least 3 feet across if not more and the height of the plant probably about 10-12 feet! The man in the chef's uniform is one of the many culinary students who work at the Farm Table; a restaurant venture set up between Providence Farm and Vancouver Island University.They endeavour to create meals from whatever they can find in the garden or secure from neighbouring farms.

Saffron crocus - so beautiful and lush. I wonder when the stamens will be ripe enough to pick? <g>

We have no idea what this is, fruit? Infestation? If anyone can enlighten please leave a comment. thank you.

Rosehips the size of radishes are hanging in there from the still ongoing blooming roses.
It was a true Photo feast tonight as we took a wander through the Farm next door, before dinner.
Blessings to those whom Indian Summer has blessed with warm days and golden light.
