Monday, 4 October 2005 - Brilliant fall colors

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for brilliant fall colors.

Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. ~Stanley Horowitz

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.
~John Donne

As I gaze out my studio's third story window, I see the rolling foothills that rise to become the mountains. The recent cold weather has accelerated the color changes in the landscape - summer's enduring greens and tans are now vibrant rusts, golds and oranges.

Lovely.
Breathtaking at times.
Divine.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
