Autumn is here … for now!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

Fall Foliage on the Blue Ridge parkwayThe fireworks fizzle fast from sparks
To embers on a cold stone hearth,
If you miss the show let’s be perfectly clear:
You’ll have to wait until next year!
             (R Weisser 2012)

Yes, Fall is in it’s full glory right now. I love Autumn for so many reasons, not the least of which is the fleeting nature of Nature’s fabulous finale!

It is my humble opinion that the Grand Designer of the Universe deliberately painted the season in vibrant, bright colors to mitigate apprehension of the cold, dark days that lie ahead.

The bright colors serve both as a warning and a consolation. It’s time to get ready for Winter, because it is coming ready or not!

In the meantime, I’ll enjoy the blaze of color right down to the last dying ember!

Quite colorful pictures.  This is a beautiful time of the year...even in Florida where the only thing that changes is the number of gray haired temporary residents!
