Rainbows Of Fall


In Autumn when the leaves turn brown, red and gold, they all fall down.

To paint a picture, oh so rare! I know that GOD is there...



To mastermind His ebb and flow; To stage His wondrous Autumn show,

To brush His skies with molten gold; I watch His art unfold.



No grander sight could I behold: These leaves of brown, red and gold.

But Winter bodes its icy chills upon the snow-clad hills.



In time the land, a living scene, comes bursting forth in savage green;

and I confront the season's thieves that took my Autumn leaves.



But soon a softness in the air! GOD paints a picture,

oh so rare of autumn leaves that all turn brown,

red and gold as they fall down.

~~By Henry W. Gurley.~~








The air turns cool, the leaves turn brown, a change is taking place,

and everywhere the signs appear of fall's approaching face.



The birds begin their southward flight that takes them far away,

and in their plaintive song and cry a fond good-bye they say.



A season dies, a new one's born like night gives way to day.

Such is the wondrous work of God in His own chosen way.

~~By Harold F. Mohn.~~



A stroll through the woods, a mountain hike, a nap on the beach, in such encounters with nature

we often find peace. There's just something about the leaves, rocks, and sand that makes us feel

at home in this great land.

They release us from the humdrum of our busy lives and bring us back to the basics of life.



"Imagine how it will look in Heaven"

  1. What beautiful pictures! Autumn is my favourite time of year, as it is for so many people.
    Lately, I have been noticing God in the barren winter landscape of Canada - there are splashes of deep red and purple in willows and grasses that have been polished to golden shine by the winter winds. Such unexpected beauty in the midst of the frozen cold is so hopeful.
    Fall is an embarrassment of riches as far as colour goes, but it is wonderful to drink it in, like a feast for the eyes.
    What a wonderful world we live in!

  4. What beautiful pictures Cat! It moves one's soul to see beauty like that. Once I sat on a hill overlooking the Isle of Skye, and the beauty of it was almost too much. The beauty of nature is so intense it's sometimes difficult to take in isn't it? I would love to visit the US or Canada in the fall one day.

    Hugs, Ami

  5. Lovely pictures Cat. I love fall and try to hold onto it too long b/c I really am not a big fan of winter. Lately we've had flocks of Redpolls visiting our feeders. They nest in the Arctic and are strangely nomadic in the winter but only start coming near the END of winter...which gives me all sorts of hope for spring!

    1. Happy you enjoyed them Susie. Come back and look any time you need to see the beautiful fall colors until spring arrives. Maybe an early spring according to the Redpolls? ;)

      Blessings,
