Sorry to see you go . . .

With every leaf a miracle . . .

Walt Whitman, 1821-1894

 

 

Yes, fall color is coming to an end. It's been a dreary fall in NW PA. I've taken zero pictures. This past weekend we saw more fall than the entire month of October. Yes, there are still some color to be seen. But not for long.

 

So this post will share a few more of my photos from previous years and a few good words from fellow lovers of fall!

 

"God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars."

Martin Luther

 

 "Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves. We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!

Humbert Wolfe

"Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonize . . . 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

 

 "And that afternoon, as the sun slanted low through the changing autumn leaves, I remembered to savor the moment, soak in the beauty, breathe deeply and feel the immensity of God."

Cindee Snider

 

 

 

 "Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn."

Elizabeth Lawrence

"They come and go so quickly, spring and fall . . . as if they had not really come at all. Perhaps we could not take too much of beauty, breath-catching glory, ecstasy without relief; and so . . . God made them brief."

Ruth Bell Graham

"The testimony of nature alone is sufficient to lead man to an understanding of the personal righteous nature of God so that they are without excuse."

Romans 1:20

"In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening -- no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air."

Alexander Smith

Good bye fall color. I will miss you!
