There's a lovely walking path directly in front of our home. A walk there anytime of day is beautiful but I particularly love ones taken in the early morning.
Desert Yellow Bells are blooming profusely this time of year........and they seem to thrive in our continuing 100 degree plus heat........
Though the temperatures this weekend continue to soar on the desert floor, we seem to have some beautiful Autumn colors going on here.......there's always something to be grateful for....... :)
This is the stunning Mexican Bird of Paradise......it will bloom like this until our first frosty night........which may or may not come in late December.
Enjoy your week.
And be sure to take that walk......
and Sunday's in my City. Be sure to check them all out.

Beautiful reminder that God provides beauty in every season. When people come to see us they are always impressed with the Mexican Bird of Paradise that is so prevalent in our area. One relative was wondering if it would grow in California.
Thank you for sharing.

As we've driven through the Phoenix area before I've wondered what those vibrant orange and red blooms were. They seemed to be everywhere when I was there. I always wondered what the name of those were, and now I know. By the way, beautiful shots!
Elaine, How lovely! God does such beautiful work, doesn't He?
There are so many things all around to appreciate, aren't there? Thanks for reminding me!

Beautiful!! I agree with the others who left such positive comments. Thanks for posting. Have a great week.
Such pretty flowers Elaine! I just love them! I would love to walk a path like that: )
What beautiful pictures! Your weather is similar to ours, and those plants are also common here in people's yards. We did though have a break in the heat. We've actually had some nice days.
Have a great week Elaine!
Simply beautiful, I think we call those orange flowers as Fire if am not mistaken. Have a nice week!

That was lovely. I felt like I was taking a stroll. I love the quote; it's so true.

just read your Spiritual Sun post. great post. I love the flowers you enjoy in your region.
let Heaven and nature sing. What excuse will anyone have for denying our Lord.
Hi Elaine, You saw some gorgeous colors on your walk.... Love the pictures...the colors are just so vivid... Thanks!!!

My dog would enjoy that walk. Not sure if the flowers would be sharing that feeling;)
Oh my, just found your blog for the first time and love it. I collect roosters and cookbooks too. I live in Virginia but lived in Arizona for five years in the '70's. Phoenix metro area is the best of Arizona but the summer heat is gruesome. But I could take a visit in the late fall or winter or early spring. Hey, want to do a home exchange? We live 45 miles west of Washington D.C. You could check out my cookbooks and roosters in person! LOL!
That is what I call a colorful walk Thank you
What a beautiful garden! You must really a green thumb. It all looks so colorful. Thanks for sharing.
Elaine, How nice to have a walking path like that right outside your door....love the fall colors even if your weather doesn't match yet! lol I lived in Phoenix for a year or so when I was a teen and if I remember correctly you're in for some absolutely gorgeous weather very soon! Enjoyed your lovely pics.
Very pretty pictures - Super colors for fall !

I've never thought of the Bird of Paradise as being our fall colors before (I haven't seen the Desert Bells here in town). I won't look at the Bird of Paradise the same way again. Thanks!
Such a beautiful walking path with nice fall colors! It's nice to take the time to appreciate these wonders of nature.
Great colors. Enjoy your warm days.
What BEAUTIFUL walk!
That's beautiful Elaine! I'm in need of a good walk as well. I love the Bird of Paradise with its stunning colors. It reminds me of a sunset.
