Autumn Splendors

We live in a very beautiful corner of the world.  One need only go with open eyes into the mountains within a few miles of our home on a beautiful autumn day, of which there are many, to see the magnificence of God's creations in all their splendor.  The leaves in Logan Canyon are turning color, though I have seen them more vibrant than they are this year.  The higher elevations have already received their first dusting of snow, warning that winter is not far behind, along with its own special variety of rugged beauty, and of course catching a view of Bear Lake at twilight can be a deeply moving experience in and of itself, beautiful and ever changing in its moods.  I am grateful to live in this beautiful world and to still have the will and the strength to get out a bit and enjoy some of what is so conveniently near.  I always come home a better man and in awe of what I've been permitted to see.

 A dusting of snow has already come to the area around Tony Grove Lake.  Cool, clear fall air invigorates the soul and stimulates the mind.
