It's amazing how quick the leaves change, turning to magnificent colors, then fall. We took a trip up the Alpine Loop and it was absolutely amazing! I learned that fall colors are actually the leaves true colors. The reason why leaves are green are because of the pigment chlorophyll and the growth of photosynthesis. This process allows growth and reproduction and life! In the fall, the green pigment cycles and the real colors come out. I wonder how often this occurs in our lives. We sometimes where a green cover and get help from others (the sun, water, soil) to grow. Then we cycle and take a change to let our true colors out! Sometimes they stay a while, sometimes they fall quickly, but no matter what, the leaves grow back. It's amazing the life lessons that nature teach. God is the ultimate artist and if we but open our eyes to his teachings, let Him and Christ be our (Son, water, and soil), we will grow beyond imagination!
Here are some photos from the adventure~
