When I opened my eyes this morning, the first thing I noticed was the gorgeous golden light coming in my window. Looking out the living room window a few minutes later, the explanation for that light became clear. Overnight, the entire maple tree had turned golden -- no green leaves left. More leaves wore red tinged edges than yesterday, too. This tree is several stories high so holds many, many leaves. When the softer autumn sun shines through the leaves, the light is tinted by the leaf pigment. Amazing. I had never experienced this when living on the prairies, so days like these feel special to me.
The opening line of a song described how the light greeted me this morning. Stay safe. Enjoy!
