The beauty of November

November in Michigan ...

•  the trees have flung most of their leaves in crunchy heaps on the ground.
• the days are cooler and the nights can be downright COLD!
• we know, oh how we know, that winter winds and snow and bitter cold are just around the corner.

But in spite of the raking and shivering and dread that curbs our enthusiasm for November, there are beautiful things that happen. And occasionally, they are captured in full color.

That sky! The last stubborn leaves that just won't let go. The promise of milkweed for years to come.

...Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Matthew 6:28-29
