Scenic Autumn

~ Aerial Photogaphy, Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith

Happy Thursday! Fall is officially here, and our week began with picture perfect weather!

“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭29:2‬ ‭

Does it get any better than autumn scenery? We live in a very picturesque area of NE Alabama with rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. I dug into the archives to bring you some of my favorite autumn images. We are a few weeks away from this array of colors but what is wrong with a good look at the menu and a little appetizer? Grab a cup of coffee and join me as we travel around our Appalachian Foothills!

“I am struck by the simplicity of light in the atmosphere of the autumn, as if the earth absorbed none, and out of this profusion of dazzling light came the autumnal hints.”
-Henry David Thoreau

 

A glorious autumn sunrise!

“Autumn writes her own poetry, we are merely observers.”

July Garden Journal

“When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭94:19‬

Happy Thursday dear friends! I love this verse I shared today, the cares of my heart have been so many over the past couple of weeks. What is so beautiful is that our loving Heavenly Father knows each one and they have all been sifted through His gracious Hands. How about the cares of your heart, are there many? If you want to share here or email me, I would be privileged to pray for you. I know that when a reader sometimes mentions a prayer request, other readers see it and pray for them. What a beautiful community of love for each other…this is what our world needs!

“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
‭‭John‬ ‭13:35‬ ‭

One personal benefit of blogging is the journal that is being recorded for my family and myself. The blog has chronicled the successes and losses of our gardening. From the establishment of the garden in late spring of 2015 to the present, it is a record of information that I constantly use as I plan for the future. Grab a glass of iced tea and join me in the garden as I share photos and continue adding to my garden journal!

July is hot and humid in our Appalachian Foothills while the garden takes on the cooling shades of green and white! Panicle hydrangeas are showing out!

The tuteur is almost hidden among the vanilla-strawberry blooms! I highly recommend panicle hydrangeas for your garden. So what is a panicle hydrangea also known as a Hydrangea Paniculata? Panicle describes the shape and the arrangement of the blooms of the plant. It is easiest to think of them as football-shaped and sized. They are super easy, reliable, and very hardy. Flowers can almost be guaranteed because the flower buds are formed in late spring on new growth. They adapt to a variety of light levels, from full sun to partial shade. Panicle hydrangeas offer a long season of bloom beginning in June and lasting until late autumn.READ MORE

“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:23‬ ‭

Winter is closing in on us fast. Next Sunday we will officially be into winter and the sun starts coming up earlier as our days start getting longer!

The images through the glass from outside provided a very unusual and interesting pic. There are reflections of reflections! Unique and beautiful and quite by accident!READ MORE
