Autumn Leaves

Looking out my kitchen window to the beauty of fall! Pretty soon the mountains will be visable once all the leaves are off the trees.






And the colored leaves across the street.
When the leaves on this tree are gone, it disappears against the evergreens behind it. Only when the sun shines on it can one see the skeleton of the tree. How quickly the beauty fades as time goes on. Just like us as well. But when the SON of God shines on us we can still be seen through His eyes and we live on.

This tree is in its' Golden stage. Next it will be bare for the winter. Then when spring comes it will turn a lovely pink color and then when summer comes it will turn green. It truely is a four season tree. So fun to watch it change colors for every season. Like changing ones attire for each occasion. Isn't nature beautiful?
