Happy Autumn Blessing

Autumn Foliage

Happy Autumn, dear friends!

May this fall season bring you great joy, abundant harvests, harmonious relationships and a closer walk with God. 

Here in Maryland the foliage is just starting to turn.

Autumn Crocuses

Down at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington D.C. today I saw these autumn crocuses blooming through some green ground cover.

Purple Berry Bush

I'm not sure the true name of the berry bush pictured above but I've heard it called "beauty berry." The berries are tiny but lovely.

Blazing Orange Flowers

Also not sure what this bright orange flower is but it looks almost tropical. I included it in this happy autumn post more for it's color than it's plant type. I'm enjoying the cooler air, quieter days (no heat or air conditioning needed so far this fall, although that may change at any time) and beautiful colors that come with autumn. May God bless you this autumn and always!
