It’s November 5th, and I have my Five in Five for the monthly meme at itchifingers, hosted by Sandie. Tracy and I spent one afternoon last week at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. I don’t believe we’ve ever been there in the fall before. Although there weren’t many trees that had turned color, there were many beautiful displays. I’ll be back later in the week with some more photos of these gorgeous gardens. But for now, five (in five minutes) from my favorite display at The Enabling Garden, a hands-on teaching garden that encourages gardening for people of all ages and abilities.
I loved the stem on this pumpkin.
The light on the doors is what prompted me to take this photo.
This last one has a green gourd that looks like an animal with a long tongue!
You can check out other 5 in 5 projects right here.
Looks lovely and colourful, and your photos are great. Certainly warmer there than here!
What wonderful colours in the garden, and the pumpkin and gourds add to the display. I especially liked the stem and the green creature with it’s tongue sticking out too! Thank you for sharing and taking part this month Karen, our gardens here in UK are lacking in colour so it was wonderful to see your photos.
Gorgeous five in five – like the purple with the orange.
Beautiful photos Karen. You are my inspiration when it comes to going out and taking pictures. I love the purple and orange combination, so striking. The play of light on the door is great. I use the 5 in 5 idea all the time because of you. It has made me so much more aware of how many beautiful and interesting things you can find in just 5 minutes. Have a lovely day.
The colours are indeed great in these. Great shaped pumpkins.
Hello, Karen,
What a big surprise! Your photos are very beautiful,and those big pumpkins look powerful!
Have a wonderful day.
