My Anemone japonica aka Autumn Anemones has arrived late to my garden party. They revive a tired garden which is fading after a long, hot summer. Another sign that the seasons will soon change.

"It has taken possession of rather more of my garden than I desired, but it is so lovely that I cannot bring myself to root any of it out." ~ E. A. Bowles

I had fun painting my Anemone photo using Deep Dream Generator and Topaz Studio 2.

Thanks so much, Flickr friends for all your visits, encouragement, and inspiration.

Have a lovely Sunday

I love the season of autumn, but as the Anemones start to fade, I know it's time to bid farewell. It's always too soon to say good-bye.

Baignée par la lumière

Ta beauté est entière

Tu sais te faire belle

Pour attirer les abeilles

Tu sais aussi te défendre

Avec ceux qui ne sont pas tendre

Beaucoup je t’ envie

Tu es si jolie

Anemone

Bathed in light

Your beauty is full

You know you make beautiful

To attract bees

You know as you defend

With those who do not tender

T much I envy

You're so pretty

What a wonderful and unexpected surprise! Because of the bounty of abundant (some might say relentless, lol) sunshine this summer, the autumn Anemones are already blooming in August. This beautiful Anemone deserved to be painted.
