Beauty of Autumn

[brinny]

From the hyper love of autumn, we see,

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
George Eliot

Beautiful.

"Come, little leaves," said the wind one day,
Come over the meadows with me and play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold;
For summer is gone, and the days grow cold."
~George Cooper

We have a lot of tulip poplars, green ash and red oak.
I like them all.

Conkers are the fruit of the horse chestnut. They come in prickly covers. Children play conkers with them on string.

It's a joy to get out out there and enjoy God in the autumn. We do not worship autumn we worship Him!

 

[brinny]

Yes, we worship Him, the Creator of all this beauty.

The only thing wrong with that photo is that I'm not on one of those benches.

hahaaaa me too....

i used to live surrounded by concrete, just plots of soil, with a tree in it, up and down the blocks....but there were parks, some small, others larger that were similar to that picture. They were like an oasis amongst the hurry skurry of the city.
