2020 10-22, 4745 - RED LEAVES AND FERNS – Nature has provided many little beautiful scenes this fall for me to observe as I walk the land. It is these components that combined together, make up the landscape of Nature. Each person, when combined with others, makes up the landscape of life.

Leaves Through the Window
|
2020 10-21, 4744 - LEAVES THROUGH THE WINDOW – I love to observe the leaves through our large window all year long, from the early buds in the spring to the last one to drop in the fall. This time of year they are especially mesmerizing, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be the observer.

2020 10-20, 4743 - SUNLIGHT AND LEAVES – It seems as though this year more than ever I have been aware of how sunlight can enhance different views of Nature. Leaves that are still hanging on the trees when seen through sunlight create a beautiful image. Life gives us a chance to see it from different angles.

The Return of the Brook
|
2020 10-19, 4742 - THE RETURN OF THE BROOK – The brook has returned after the recent soaking rains. Hopefully many of the wells in the area that had dried up are also replenished. We all experience creative droughts from time to time. It is always good to have something in our minds to bring the flow back.

2020 10-18, 4741 - CRACKLED – The tree with its ugly crackled bark reminded me of a type of antique glass with an applied finish that over time became crackled. That reminded me of people that over time show the effects of life’s wear on their bodies. They may appear crackled, but inside their core is still clear.

Hanging On
|
2020 10-17, 4740 - HANGING ON – The red maple tree close to the orchard hangs onto its colors longer than the trees close to it. We are greeted with a beautiful red hue as we approach the cabin. People have the opportunity to experience the hanging on feeling long after a positive experience.

2020 10-16, 4739 - A HOLLOW LOG – There is something about a hollow log that provides the mind endless opportunities to journey beyond the restrictions of daily normal life and out into the limitless bounds of the Cosmos. There one is free to examine life from a different perspective.
