Before the Leaves Fall

Autumn is a favorite season of mine, next to spring.   Just like the sakura (cherry blossoms), the changing of colors of the leaves on some trees here depends on the weather.  So people always check the Autumn Leaves forecast of the Year if they want to go to some famous places just to see the awesome hues.

A couple of years ago, friends and I went to Rokko Mountain here in Kobe for the autumn leaves.  We went by car through the winding road up the mountain.  The view was breathtaking.

Doesn't this look like a painting?  Who would have thought that in the midst of those trees there one can find a scene as awesome as this one?

                                  Here's another angle of the same spot.  Isn't that gorgeous?

                                                    This reminds me of a Monet painting.

Isn't it truly nice of our God, the Creator of this beautiful world , to paint awesome hues to nature before He lets the leaves fall so the trees can  rest during the winter?
