The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.
Paulo Coelho
It is a cool fall morning with a light mist descending on everything. Needless to say I did not ride my bicycle this morning. As I returned from the coffee shop I noticed the fallen leaves sparkling and shining up at me. So I took my camera for a walk, accepting the simple and extraordinary gifts of nature. These moments are important in my life because they help keep my feet firmly on the ground, even when it’s wet, and life simple. Today is also a great day to enjoy a crockpot of chili soup now simmering.

It’s 79 degrees F here at the moment, but they forecast more seasonal termperatures beginning this coming Thursday with highs in the 60s. However, we’ll probably still see the 80s again before this fall ends. It looks like that one centered leaf captures about three seasons from the center out, summer, fall and winter.
Nother hits the spot on a cool day like a good pot of soup or chili; enjoy!

Yes, the leaf covers three seasons. Just had a bowl of the soup an hour ago and probably will be tooting in a half hour or so. That’s how you know is good chili soup!

The color saturation of these recent photographs is sheer delight, Monte! I like the new format too! I pray that you are well. Us old gals in WY are enjoying a magnificent Autum but nothing like the splendid colors you have captured here. Thank you for the gift! Blessings, g.

Always a gift to hear from you, my friend. As always, the fall colors have been a gift this year and when you add rain the color saturation just radiates. It’s a good idea for me to look down during the fall season at the beauty of the fallen leaves and not just at the leaves still hanging on. Today the golden cottonwood leaves are brown from the moisture and cold but lovely to my eyes. I’m glad you are enjoying your autumn season.
