God’s fireworks

Posted on by

The frost sadly zapped my annual flowers early this year. But as the saying goes, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.” And the fall leaves, which seem to need a good freeze to get really colorful, are making up for the lost flowers.

Here is the view from my kitchen window in the late afternoon.

The street outside my house.

And the nearby park, which I like to drive through on my way to everywhere, especially this time of year.

Gawking at trees is one of my favorite pastimes.

The seeds and berries are pretty this time of year as well.

As are the leaves that have dropped to the ground.

Some flowers stay colorful and interesting even after the frost has zapped them.

A few perennial flowers have managed to survive the freeze. Love the ones that hang in there!

And here’s the cute kitty who followed me while I was snapping some of my photos. So of course, I need to include her here.

  6. Every year I like to choose one color to especially notice. This autumn it has been that astonishing red/orange that you capture in the fourth picture. Ours seem to have burst out in it this year. Thanks for sharing yours.
