The tree outside my dorm window has leaves of a most intense color. A blend between a bright yellow and fiery orange. It's the most wondrous thing, and it looks as if there's a massive fire burning outside my window. The colors against the dark, wet trunk and branches are unbelievably beautiful.
The trees down on 3rd Street, or rather, any trees south of 10th, are in full fall hue. The trees in the north neighborhood aren't very pretty. But the pretty tree are bright yellows, yellow greens, oranges, yellow oranges, reds, and a blend of it all. Some trees are still green and altogether it's like a rainbow. My pictures honestly cannot justify the beauty of the campus. I must look really stupid walking around these days, my head always tilted up, mouth hanging, eyes in awe, stopping every couple feet to snap a picture with my phone. (y)
I'll describe it. Or, just the reds. It's as if you took a red crayola crayon and colored, colored as hard as you possibly could. Deep, bright, intense, red. The ones in the picture aren't the super red ones, but still so pretty.
It's honestly such a beautiful scene to see and goodness I just always think to myself, what a God, that the earth we live in can be as gorgeous as this. And just the way the leaves are, how some of them are a blend of reds and yellows - the gradations, the 'ombre'. So, so, amazing.
ANYWAYS, the children here are so very curious. I have set all the privacy setting so basically you have to know the url to find this blog, but they are very curious indeed. Definitely....different. Like I told them how I write about how God is working in my life and just day-to-day stuff, and they're really interested to read it. 'Transparency' they called it. I.....am definitely not used to that. It's such a blessing that they all care but it's just so different for me. This 'transparency' that I have with y'all is already pretty crazy, considering I used to really really really like to keep my thoughts to myself.
We'll see.
They definitely all inspire me with their love and joy and friendliness. Praise God I found a home with them, truly.
THE END.
