Today I am thankful for the pretty fall colors. The trees are close to their peak of yellows, reds and oranges at this point.
More than just pretty colors, the progress as the season changes remind me of the cycle of renewal. We fall from a peak, maybe go dormant, to the quiet of Winter, then the promise of Spring. I am thankful for the years I have had to experience the changes, for knowing about renewal allows us to live in hope.
Yes, the colours are amazing. Change can be beautiful! Hard sometimes but beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteYou have that right... sometimes hard, but beautiful, too.
DeleteI was thinking nearly the same thing yesterday. The drought has put the kibosh on really nice leaves this year but a few trees have worn brilliant coats of yellow or red. Seeing them standing among the other naked trees against the blue sky was sweet. It was also the realization that in the next few days we will start the colder days with the pale blue skies. The scientist in me (mis)remembers there's less water in the air so less reflection of light to form the blue(?)
ReplyDeleteWe just came out from our own drought, so that's probably why they are so brilliant this year. Cycles, huh?
