I knew this arrangement was missing something, and by chance found a perfectly matching red candle in my office to stick into the urn. I love everything about how the red of the crabapples and candle meshes with the green of the juniper and background.

Featuring my favorite book nestled in the green gauze: Lyra Heroica: A Book of Verse for Boys, selected by William Ernst Henley. Published in 1891.

A vertical image of a recently extinguished candle nestled amongst evergreen juniper sprigs, crabapple foliage, and white dusted pine cones. The arrangement flows out of an ornate silver etched urn and sits upon a vintage hardbound book of deep green. Smoke wisps from the candle in sweeps of mystic gray.

The foraged arrangement.
One for my upcoming calendar.
Just some beautiful evergreen winter interest, birch bark, and what's left of the crabapples.

An evergreen arrangement on a dark green background. Juniper branches spill over the side of a pedestal while juniper and crabapples branch out of an ornate silver canister. The canister sits on a vintage green hardbound book, next to a small white coated pinecone. A red candle flickers from the middle of the arrangement.

Signs of the season, foraged crabapples and juniper among fallen maple leaves.

A horizonal shallow focus image of a woven wooden basket among brown fall leaves and juniper foliage. Out of focus in the basket bright crimson crabapples lay on more juniper greenery.

After going foraging for sprigs and berries for some upcoming arrangements, I'm resolved to grow a small cluster of my own juniper trees for future years' projects. I've fallen in love with the gorgeous deep greens and blues, and of course some infusions are in my future with all these berries, too!

Since I don't know of any hashtags already out there for fall and winter that are analogous to spring and summer's widely followed #BloomScrolling, I'm going to throw my fall and winter foliage/scenery images under #SignsOfTheSeason. I'm all ears for any other seasonal nature related hashtags folks know of as well!

Some gorgeous signs of the season from a recent foraging jaunt. Juniper berries and sprigs, and ornamental crabapples for a future wreath.

One of my favorite things about foraging is finding 'the real thing' aka what plastic mass manufactured florals and wreath supplies in craft stores imitate, and getting to smell the piney crush of berries and resin when gathering. My bucket was a full aromatic treat to bring home in itself.
