Stacked flower pots at Humber Nursery, Toronto
As we are now heading towards the end of the year, I thought I might do a weekly series of photo essays on the general theme of color which feature my favorite photographs of the past year. To start of the series, I am beginning with the theme "a rainbow of colors". So without further adieu, here we go:
Market flowers, Kingston Ontario
Wire cages, Humber Nursery, Toronto, Ontario

So vibrant and beautiful, what a contrast to the sea of white outdoors at the moment! My favorite picture is that of your front garden, it's really amazing how much a white picket fence adds charm and enhances the colours of the blooms. Gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, all the colours are so beautiful! I love looking at colour this time of year when everything seems so stark & gray to me! I especially love the photo of your front garden! It's always been a 'show stopper'; one that I've noticed during all my years in Brampton (before blogging)!
ReplyDeleteYour photos, as always, delight my eyes. I couldn't possibly pick a favourite, I keep scanning through them just enjoying each one.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful summer colors. I so love your front beds. I do not think I ever saw colored tomato cages before. I like that idea. I am going to enjoy your color postings.
ReplyDeleteDear Jennifer, What a fun and imaginative collection of images on the theme of 'rainbows'.The fruit baskets at the farmers' market look particularly appealing, if only all greengrocers looked like this.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I really needed this today. It is so dark and rainy outside here.

Such vibrant colors really cheered me up here in rainy Spain! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLovely blog too!
XOXO Lola:)
What a fun post! Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic series of colors! While I love florals, the pots, tomato cages, watering cans and fruit photos captivated me the most here. I think they'd make great cards!
ReplyDeleteYour front garden is beautiful too.
btw, I highly recommend The Forgotten Garden ~ that book sucked me in so fast, it was really hard to put down! The best book I've read in a while ~ I hope you get a chance to read it too.
What a beautiful post! I enjoyed all the colorful shots and it was so lively to see so much color after a long autumn with subdued colors!
ReplyDeleteEverything so colourful. I have never seen any local nursery at our place have that colourful flower pots, wiring cage and watering can. The flowers are so lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteAs an "Essay in colour" your blogpost could hardly be beaten. Excellent! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on the chillis. Even if you don't like eating chillis, they are hugely decorative and come in a very wide range of colours, so you should find an excuse to include them in your garden...
ReplyDeleteThat made me smile! Lovely to have a burst of colour just when it is disappearing from the garden. I particularly love the shots of watering cans, plant supports and pots - they would make great greeting cards for gardeners, though I think I'd run a mile from anyone who actually used one of those plant supports...
ReplyDeleteGreat colors on your rainbow! Loved the pictures of the markets, it reminds me the flower markets back at home.
ReplyDeleteAnd all the gardens look amazing! So many beautiful flowers and colors!
thank you very much for joining the carnival! I appreciate it very much.
Jennifer girl I have a BIG smile plastered on my face with seeing so many photos taken in Kingston you are a great tourist agent for us ! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour front garden is my dream garden .. it is stunning .. can you come over here and help me by the way ? hehehe
Gorgeous colourful pictures while I look at my poor beige/sad green back garden .. thank heavens for pictures to remind us how beautiful our gardens can be and will be again ? LOL
Joy : )
The colours are mind boggling. Ihave never seen such bright garden accessories. The flowers are lovely too!
ReplyDeleteSo much color... wonderful.... and I'm crazy about your Japanese maple... they've become one of my newest kicks and I've been purchasing a lot of them which is probably risky in this climate... time will tell! L
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And I didn't know there was an L.M. Montgomery garden. Now I really want to go! That Humber Nursery looks like an excellent place to visit, too. Maybe if I ever get back up to Toronto...
ReplyDeleteA colorful beautiful post! Your front garden looks so charming and lovely.
