So trees are already really beautiful in their normal greens and browns (think light shimmering through lush leaves or stark branches against a night sky). But then twice a year they throw a lavish ball and put on extravagant crimson-orange satin gowns (or pale pink and lilac taffeta ones in the spring). Each time it catches me by surprise. I'll be driving down a road and suddenly realize- there's a feast of colors out there, and it just happened, without anyone doing anything. And I get to enjoy it. Trees are like fruit that way- easy, natural bundles of beautiful goodness. Praise God for colors and his creation!
Speaking of which, here's the view from our back deck. We love our view, and the smell of the woods.
A few weekends ago we went for a hike with a friend around Walden Pond- a beautiful day, and the trees were- well, you'll see.
Puddle pictures.
And for the finale, red, yellow and green fireworks!
