Admiring The Fall Decor of the Divine !

Not only does God adorn the lillies in the fields, but every part of nature is his palette, in every Season , a clean slate from which to begin the artwork of the Divine. The bright yellows, dazzling oranges and deep reds , the perfect hues to catch the eye and inspire the mind. But this is not the only brilliance we notice from the one side of the Majestic color wheel... My favorite time of year has always been Fall but not only to admire and gaze upon these colors, but the skies can reflect the intensity of the art work even more so than plants and trees.
If you live any where near a large body of water in the Autumn Seasons with the cooling of the temperatures you'll know what I'm speaking of. The clouds, dark grey almost blue, hanging so low, they look as though they are about to envelope the scenery . Sometimes though, they are high in the sky moving quickly, changing rapidly and casting shadows and shades that could never truly be captured in a painting or even in a photograph. It is something that must be seen with ones own eye. The cold air moves across a large body of water say Lake Erie, where I live, as it passes, the cold air draws moisture up into themselves from the still warm lake water. The clouds begin to develop a LOOK, something we here in this part of the country call, "snow cloud" look.
Whether they ever intend to drop the crystals of frozen droplets onto the ground or not, they are there, in those clouds, dancing around, building up, but just waiting for the nod of approval from the Master. This is what we watch for ...how large, dark and heavily laden can these clouds become before they unload themselves of their burdens...sometimes they may become so heavy that they will release a short burst of small heavy frozen pellets of ice, just for a short time and then the sun
pokes out as if to say, sorry folks show's over..no storm today...but as you get later into the Season we, see these clouds and know they are what Lake Effect snowstorms are made of, the kind in which the Golden Shovel award for most snowfall is given on ABC GoodMorning America , and Erie Pa. has been the recipient of that prestigious award many times over....Bring it on.....show us what you can do...Oh Lord....I love winter ...it's next and it's right around the corner in the yet to come batch of heavy dark clouds.....
