Ablaze in Fall Colors


Our backyard is ablaze in Fall colors right now, and we are enjoying it immensely. Of course not only is it in the back but virtually everywhere you look.

At one time we had thoughts of taking one of the tours or cruises that wind down the east coast, following the color change as you move south from the Canadian border. Well, this year at least, we’ve got our own beautiful Pacific Northwest color pageantry right here close to home.

The hues change daily, starting usually with yellow, followed by a bright orange and then the deep red. Already some trees are dropping their leaves, with the rest of the deciduous varieties to soon follow.

I think it may be God’s way of reinforcing his omnipresence through all the changes in life. For me, that’s comforting.
