Fall Colors – 2022 (Part 4) – Living in the Creation

Hi. Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord.

Continuing this week with my series of articles concerning the beauty of the Lord’s Creation as seen in the colorful Fall Foliage.
Articles include:
1. Pictures I’ve taken of the beautiful Fall foliage
2. Some pictures from the Fall issues of Vermont Life magazine, which I subscribed to for many years

My Fall Pictures
The following pictures were taken on 10-15-2008 while hiking in Grayson Highlands State Park, located in southwest Virginia’s “Highlands”. This scenic area contains the two of the highest mountains in the state: Mt. Rogers, highest, at 5,729 ft., and Whitetop Mountain, third highest, at 5,520 ft..
It was an up-and-back hike over the rocky heights of Wilburn Ridge (5,526 ft.). The ridgeline contains three rocky “peaks” and is open, offering panoramic views.
This is the first of two articles where I’ll share pictures taken on this “photo-perfect” day in the Lord’s beautiful Creation.

On the way to the park via US 58, found this nice scene
God Bless America!!

The beautiful entrance offers an idea of what is to come

This and the next two pictures are from an overlook on the road into the park

Back towards the parking area and Little Pinnacle Mountain (5,089 ft.)

A member of the year-round resident community, “mountain ponies” that roam this magnificent area.
Wilburn Ridge is in the background, and will be seen in the next Fall Colors article.

Vermont Life Magazine – Fall Issues
Here are some pictures from the Autumn, 1984 edition.
(Reminder: The quality is not the greatest due to these being copied from the magazine, which is becoming somewhat faded due to age.)

Mercy! The trees testify to the Glory of God…

This article highlights how the Autumnal sun and foliage “light up” the landscape

The back page – an appropriate end to a potpourri of wonderful scenery

Psalms 121:1
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

God Bless!!!

Brother Ken,

These pictures are gorgeous! I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sending this to me. I pray that you and Sister Sandra have a wonderful trip. You are in our prayers. I hope you can take a lot of pictures during the cruise, so we can see some of what y’all see.

God bless y’all!

Emily
