Thanksgiving 30 Day Challenge: Day 1

Yesterday I posted about fleeting moments in nature. It makes you stop and think about savoring the moments and being thankful for everything one has.

Cat, at The Whimsical Garden, has put forth a challenge to post a photograph and sentiment for 30 days of something that you are thankful for. Be sure to watch the video she posted. It is inspirational and motivational. 


For years now the shops have jumped from summer all the way to Christmas. A few shelves are stocked with Halloween costumes for a month and then Christmas takes over. Thanksgiving really gets the short end of the stick. I came across this quote the other day and I though it was perfect so I adapted it to one of my photographs.


So for the next 30 days I will be celebrating this season of thanks by posting a photograph of something I find (mostly) in my garden that I am thankful for. 

Today, I am thankful for my Coral Bark Maples.


The foliage has changed from chartreuse green to golden yellow.


And the bark is making its amazing transformation to a coral pink.


This tree is stunning all year long with its beautiful foliage and bark but I especially like it during the fall.
