Mexican Sage

This Mexican Sage bush was at a local church. It is not supposed to be hardy in this area, but this one has survived a winter. The purple blooms are so vibrant and two bright yellow butterflies were enjoying the bush.

Foggy Morning

These photos were taken on a recent trip to see my family. It was hard driving but made for some pretty photos. I especially like the "foggy sunrise" photo.

Scenic route to the apple orchard

This was the route we took today to go to the apple orchard. It was cloudy but the color was beautiful. We stocked up on staymen and fuji apples, honey, sweet potatoes and apple cider. Virginia is such a beautiful state.

Fall in Virginia Oct. 2009

Fall is a second spring with all the beautiful color. We are in the peak of color around my home and I am enjoying every moment. It's hard to capture the beauty in pictures.

Fall colors

I love the colors of fall in Virginia but I sure hate to see the beautiful sunny days give way to overcast cold days. It is cold and raining here today but hopefully we will see the sunshine soon. I know, we need this rain for the flowers that are preparing for a beautiful show again this spring.
