It's Fall, but the hibiscus are still blooming...


Isn't this bloom wonderful? Hard to believe that this beauty was soaking up the sun at the Bethany Beach! 

It was a great weekend Oct 3/4 at the beach. Great weather for bike riding, exploring and naps on the beach. We were there for the Harvest Moon and it was the biggest, full moon we ever saw. It sat on the horizon and rose above the ocean. The moonlight was amazing. 
 
per Wikipedia In times past this feature of these autumn moons was said to help farmers working to bring in their crops (or, in the case of the Hunter's Moon, hunters tracking their prey)UGH. They could continue being productive by moonlight even after the sun had set. Hence the name Harvest Moon.
