| Sweating Maple in Summer |
After rainfall was the best time for photographing plants, I found out ( "Rain-Quenched", July 2, 2010). But one of the pics I wanted to post was of a Japanese Maple. I had decided to wait until autumn when I could post it alongside a photo of it after it turned crimson...scarlet? I can never keep those two words straight.

Well, fall came, and I got preoccupied and...okay, no excuse; I didn't get out for my walks. Did I miss my chance to get photos of the leaves as they were changing color? No! When I looked, there were pretty greens, yellows, oranges, reds...as well as a fiery-red Japanese Maple growing next to the "Whispering" Creek!

And just outside our front door, the neighbor's plant had leaves that were...well, see?
In a few weeks, we had snowfall (yes; we had a white Christmas this year!); and most of the trees were bare. But God had held back the cold just long enough for me to get my visual treat!

How does God manage to keep the seasons running every year (while making special considerations for people who don't get out on walks)? Some of us can't even keep two words straight...
