Autumn

Fall is my favorite season of all. I have decided this week, to look back through my pictures and post some of my favorites over the past two years. I hope to get out with my camera and take more pictures this year to add to my collection. If I do, I will be sure to post a few.

What is your favorite thing about Fall? Is it the cool mornings with warm afternoons and then cool evenings again? Maybe it is stopping by your favorite roadside stand and picking up apples, mums, and pumpkins. Maybe you love to bake, and the tastes and smells of Fall fill your kitchen, whether it be apple dumplings or pumpkin pies.

Maybe still, it is the bright colors as nature shows off one last time before the winter winds move in and nature takes a break from producing crops and blossoms. I love the sunsets as well. They keep me outside way longer than I should and I can't take my eyes off the horizon. This past week, we seemed to have some extra special ones. As I was watching the sun set, I was reminded that in heaven we will not need a sun, because His Glory will shine so brightly. Can you even imagine the beauty of God? If the sun He created and will destroy,  can cast the colors of vibrant oranges, reds and yellows, what must He cast?

I hope this week, you can make a cup of coffee/tea/hot chocolate, whatever hot beverage you prefer, and sit on your porch or local park bench and soak up the rays of His Creation and vibrant colors. We can easily get busy with the day to day things that we forget to look. Soon, we will be filled with gray skies and the occasional white snow, which I love, but the colors will be dormant for a bit. How about this week, you and I take time to thank God, for the extra detail He puts into His Creation. Hope you enjoy the photographs!
