Autumn Leaves

For a few weeks in autumn, the beauty of nature is enhanced with a brilliant display of color. No other time of the year is quit so spectacular as this short lives display of God's creative majesty.

During the last week of September I was able to photograph the colored tapestry of one of the most beautiful autumn displays in the region, the inland maple, oak, and aspen ridges in the highlands above Lake Superior. As shown in this picture, the lanscape from Silver Bay to Grand Marais seemed to glow with the brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges of the fall season.

Few people can pass by the beauty of autumn foliage and not stand in awe. God created this season, to reveal to us in a natural way, who He is.

How amazing are the deeds of the LORD! All who delight in Him should ponder them.
Everything He does reveals His glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails.
He causes us to remember His wonderful works. How gracious and merciful is our LORD! Psa 111
