The trees are screaming beauty now in red, orange, and yellow hues. i grab my camera, compelled to preserve ...compelled to stop the beauty before decay . I am reminded that "He makes all things beautiful in their time". I am reminded how fleeting beauty is.... and yet, i suppose it fades quiet for a season. Naked, exposed, and bare boned for winter. He has a plan with fading beauty. But for now, the color is waking my soul. I feel vibrant as the red i see. I can barely wait to capture this color. This vibrant, painful beauty. It falls golden on the ground, and I rake it into piles. My boys jump in. i put some in a vase at home. We gather the brightest ones. I take more pictures. Like embers in the wind...floating away, the orange shedding is beautiful. Each tree unique. I think my favorite is yellow this year. Some trees linger green..waiting for their time...giving me hope that this will continue a while longer...before the winter comes.
