A Moment in Nature for December

I started this monthly #amomentinnature feature in January of this year and I have enjoyed doing it. Taking the time to recognize small moments for their fleeting beauty or uniqueness is a habit worth cultivating. The moment in January featured morning light so it seems fitting that the last month of the year appreciates afternoon light.



As the afternoon sun angled down towards the horizon, the reddish leaves of oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) were absolutely aglow this week. 

I often say that if you plant this shrub just for its fall color, you'll get your satisfaction out of it. The rest of the seasons are just a bonus.

So get out there and find your moments. And share them with others. We all need  #amomentinnature from time to time.
