Nature’s Crown

                Naturescrown

Looking up at the branches overhead, a few leaves remained like jewels in nature’s crown… the fallen leaves carpet the ground golden, orange and ruby red.

If the path ahead leads us to change, to grow anew (and it certainly will sometimes) may it extend grace and courage to our steps.

  8. And when that leaf falls, it fertilizes the earth. There is always richness to gain from what seems lost, even though it is not apparent immediately. Thank you again Corey for your wonderful post.

  9. Beautiful thoughts this morning, Corey.
    Blessing on you today!

  10. Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky,
    How beautiful it is?
    All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness
    There is a poem, there is a song.
    Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring.
    When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with
    The music of many leaves,
    Which in due season fall and are blown away.
    And this is the way of life.

    Changes can be so challenging, but just like the leaves they can be beautiful!

  23. Nature abounds with beauty, doesn’t it?…I read your post about Shelley and it broke my heart…I know this is causing you much anguish and her much problems. It is good that you are friends. I a mthinking of you both.

    Pretty. Autumn has always been my favorite time of year. Usually I think mid autumn, but late autumn has its own starker beauty.

  25. How beautiful. Loved the falling leaves movie too!
