The return of sunshine to stave off any oncoming wintery blues and bring forth the autumn joy! #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #SunlightThroughTrees
Sunlight glowing behind a deciduous tree in early autumn, bright blue sky behind and green grass turned almost yellow by the bright sun.
A field of brambles and nettles stretching far into the distance, a river just visible to the right. Dense woodland leading to a wooded hill forms the horizon under blue-to-grey skies dotted with broken and patchy cumulus clouds.

I gotta be honest, I don’t feel like this is what emergency alerts are for. It’s important and severe but if I hear that noise from my phone I expect tornado idk
Phone emergency alert: Severe Alert
Issued by the UK Government
1m ago
There is a very high risk of wildfires nationally. Residents, landowners and visitors should not undertake any activity that could start a fire, including disposable barbecues, firepits, garden incinerators or fireworks. Even a small flame can rapidly develop into a major wildfire placing lives, homes, businesses and emergency responders at risk.
Follow official updates and report signs of fire immediately by calling 999. Search gov.uk/alerts for more information.

#smallbeautieshour Despite a polar freeze over most of Canada, my little corner is mild. And the hellebore likes it. We may get snow later this week but this little hellebore has survived that two years in a row now.
