Another gorgeous sunset in the country sky. I took this picture a couple of weeks ago, but we are lucky to often have fantastic sunsets. Maybe one day I'll make a collage of all the ones I've captured on film. (Haha! "Film." What an outdated term!)
Please join us this Saturday and Sunday, December 3-4, for the annual Saxapahaw Holiday Market! We will have a booth, and our fresh-off-the-presses 2017 calendars will be available for all those lucky people on your shopping list. Look for our show-only specials. We hope to see you there!
This past fall I made a trip up to Saratoga Springs, NY, and the fall colors were gorgeous. Beautiful red geraniums surrounded this fountain just inside the main entrance (a previous post featured this fountain in the snow). Quite colorful and eye catching.
Recently I went to a Chihuly exhibit that was showing locally, and wow, was it impressive! I first saw his work at an exhibit in the New York Botanical Gardens years ago and have been a fan ever since. While that show interspersed his works among the gardens and grounds, this show by contrast was indoors, so we were able to get really close to the pieces. The size and complexity of the pieces was stunning.
The other morning I had a fairly early start on the day, and the sunrise through the trees was quite pretty. The fog added a layer of beauty and interest and made it feel even more as though I were experiencing the outdoors "waking up" for a brand new day.
Beautiful gardenias fresh from the garden, and boy, do they smell amazing. Their delicate, sweet scent takes me back to my childhood. We had 2 prolific bushes in the backyard, and my mom would cut fresh sprigs and place them throughout the house until the blooms ran out. She even traveled with some one time on a plane to come visit me, and they survived! So lovely.
