Fall on the balcony

Cabbage and heather greets me every time I come home, and I love the sight of these cheerful plants as my balcony is transitioning from summer to fall. Some of the summer blooms are still alive, but have seen better days. 

Also, my new camera charger and card reader is on the way. It has been over 3 months since Airtran lost my suitcase and therefore 3 months since I have used my camera. I guess you can say I am ready for the package to arrive! These Ipod pictures are good enough for instagram most of the time, but not very useful otherwise...
