Autumn is my favorite season.
The changing exquisite colors of the leaves; the cool, crisp air; apples, pumpkins and squash; and the hint of woodsmoke touch all the senses and the heart.
During a ride one recent afternoon, it seemed like there was poignant beauty at every glance.
As if on cue, the sun peeked through the trees and scattered golden rays on everything in sight.
One of my sisters and I stopped at a lake and drank in the splendor before us.
Brilliant sunshine rippled on the surface of the water, creating a scene of a million sparking diamonds, that made us squint.
Trees on the nearby hillsides boasted the colors of orange, yellow and red and seemed to have voices that called, "Look at me, look at me."
We felt that it was such a privilege to be alive and privy to Mother Nature's incredulous bounty.
HOW DOES AUTUMN TOUCH YOUR HEART?
