Beautiful bright pelargonium! I must try some of those in pots next summer.
Temperatures here have been below 10C at night, still up in the mid 20s during the day. It's dark now on our early morning dog walks. In another week or so the tawny owls will be calling and then it will feel like autumn.
Ouch, below 10C! That would be way too cold for me at this time of year!
It's hard to believe that the house martins will be gone in... maybe somewhere in between two or three weeks from now, although I can see how they are forced to go to "bed" earlier and earlier as they don't fly even in semi-darkness. And looking at a sky so full of swifts, it's even harder to imagine that they will be gone too some time in October. I miss the migratory birds terribly all winter. *sigh*
(I don't think I've ever heard a tawny owl, by the way, but I can't be sure.)

September got here awfully fast, in my opinion.

I'm glad that we finally got rid of the worst heat, but I'm not ready for the migratory birds to fly away. :(

Tawny Owls are the ones you hear as background noises in spooky movies - the females make a kew-itt! noise, and the males go whoooo!
