Here in Colorado the colors have been magnificent this year!
Our spring was long with plenty of moisture
and I believe because of that we are reaping the glorious
benefits now in the changing of colors
as our aspen trees, grasses and shrubs show forth their beauty.
Our home is surrounded with glorious yellows, reds, oranges and green
with beauty at every turn.
As I step out of the house I can't help but sing the hymn Majesty;
There's glory at every turn and my praise
is to God and God alone!
Isn't His world glorious?!
Majesty, worship His majesty,
Unto Jesus be all glory, honor, and praise.
Majesty, kingdom authority flow from His throne unto His own;
His anthem raise.
So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus,
Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus the King.
Majesty, worship his majesty;
Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all Kings.
The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty;
the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith
he hath girded himself: the world also is established,
that it cannot be moved.
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their waves.
The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,
yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becomes thine house,
O Lord, forever.
~ Psalm 93:1-5 ~
The reason Aspen leaves change, like the leaves of any deciduous tree,
is because of a decrease in photosynthetic activity
as the days get shorter in the fall.
The gold and yellow colors we see in autumn
are always there; in the fall, they simply are revealed
when the green hues from chlorophyll production fade.

I've always said that the leaves on an Aspen tree clap their hands.
Well, flat rather than round stems allow the leaves to flutter
making them sound as if they are clapping.
Plus, stems give leaves strength,
allowing them to twist in the wind.
That is why the Aspen tree is so beautiful when the wind blows.
I pray that you are enjoying all he beauty and glory
that surrounds you.
God, in His greatness shows forth Himself everywhere we look,
don't miss out on the glories He has for you.
Take care my lovely friends and joy to you!
Be Lovely!
Debbie

Debbie - your photos are fabulous. I love seeing those beautiful Aspen trees. You could not have chosen a better song to put with these glorious scenes. I so enjoy seeing your lovely part of the world. I hope you have a blessed week. Hugs!
Beautiful! I have always loved Colorado! We had our first snow this weekend :0 earliest since 1926 i believe. It was sure a beautiful Sunday!
Dear Debbie, Oh what glorious colors you are seeing this year. We went up to Estes a week ago and didn't see any colors at all. My daughter's family went up on Sunday and they were just starting to see color. Hubby and I are going up really early Thursday to see colors and hopefully some elk. Thank you for sharing His glory with us; love it!
Blessings,
Noreen

Yay! Fall is finally here!
Cute, cute pic of you and your sweetie!
Love your Fall pics and the verses too.
We certainly cooled off here a ton, and the leaves have begun to change color.
Have a great new week.

Everything about this post is just lovely—the picture, the words, and you! Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful pictures and even more beautiful words of praise.
What a wonderful post filled with beautiful photos of God's creations, including you and your dear hubby, and the wonderful words of praise for our awesome God.
Have a wonderful week ~ FlowerLady
Such beauty is awesome. What a beautiful world God has created for us to enjoy.
What beautiful photos you’ve shared Debbie! You and your hubby look so beautiful and happy together. What a perfect song you’ve shared for us to enjoy! I’m waiting for some Fall changes here....hopefully soon. Blessings to you, sweet lady.
Majesty, worship His majesty! I was singing as I scrolled through these lovely images. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Wow!!! Autumn comes early in its glory for you. Here on the coast of VA the only Autumn color I have is potted Mums I bought, and they're pretty bright yellow. :-)
Thanks for sharing the beauty of CO, my friend!

Hi
Let me introduce you a little bit. I am Asep Haryono, Indonesia travel and food blogger. I'm almost 49 years old.
I am sorry for my horrible English due to I am not speaking the language
This is my first visit to your wonderful blog, reading news and viewing your photos. You are really wonderful.
I followed your blog. Big hello from Indonesia
Hi Debbie,
after looking at your beautiful pictures, and reading the Words of the Psalm, I have to continue to say, as I always do 'It is a fool who says there is no God.'
God bless you and yours Debbie.
Your post is do beautifully written amd full if truth! I love Fall, those colors are simply stunning and your pics are absolutely amazing.What a joy to watch! Have a lovely day ☺
Thank you so much for sharing all the beauty you have surrounding you out there, it just amazes me what God has blessed us with and given to us to enjoy in every season of the year and life in general!
Thank for your beautiful fall pictures. They are so lovely!
"...the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their waves.
The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,"
Amen
Amen
Amen!
I was able to travel through Colorado once about 30 years ago. It was beautiful that September, but your photos are outstanding! God paints a beautiful picture of His love for us. Thank you for sharing these lovely photos with those of us who are still experiencing 95+ degree weather. Could you share a little of the cool weather too? :) Love you. Sending hugs!
So beautiful! I love to watch the leaves change here in MI and be reminded how beautiful the Christian life is. There is beauty in the death of a Christian, just like in the leaves.
Beautiful Debbie, I enjoyed your photos and words shared.
Love, Carla
How wonderful autumn is, so beautiful in the mountains, all those colors!
It shows Gods greatness.🍃
Oh my...what gorgeous photos! You and your hubby make such an adorable couple...and what a beautiful backdrop! I have always wanted to visit Colorado and I think the chances of me doing so are greater now. Our son Adam, who will be our "neighbor" in a few days, has promised to take us there. We are currently experiencing dried up green trees in the sweltering heat of the south...UGH! There is nothing I enjoy more than taking in all the beauty our Lord has created...a beautiful post, my friend!
So beautiful! I love the picture of you and your hubby - you are a wonderful couple, so full of the grace and love of Jesus, and it shines forth in all you do! When I read your words about aspen trees, it made me think of the John Denver song "Aspenglow." (Here's a link, in case you've never heard it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPcq6Mw4pRo) One of my favorites. I love that whole CD. I think he loved your area of the country and seemed to sing of it often. I've never been there, but maybe one day! It was so nice to visit with you today, sweet friend. :)
Thank you for the spectacular photos, Debbie! I'm so thankful for the gift of sight, so that we may enjoy His stunning creation and so we can more deeply connect with each other.
Another wonderful post, Debbie! Especially love the first photo:)
I always enjoy the beauty and brilliance of fall!
Oh the photos are breathtaking! They are so beautiful it almost gave me chills. Loved the psalms too with the photos too and the little lesson on why the leaves turn golden.
You are a lovely gal with such a sweet, sweet countenance, very rare indeed.
For me? Ha ha, I'm waiting on the autumn leaves, we have a few red ones here and there so far, I think this next week will deliver some longed for cool air for us.
Take care now, it's always so wonderful to hear from you. Hugs!
What a lovely blog!! I just happened upon you and I'm glad I did; I'm following.
I loved this post. Sometimes it's good to pause from our busy lives and to see God's amazing creation and the beautiful show He puts on for us every season.
Thank you for sharing this morning, it's beautiful there!
So nice. here we are waiting for the autumn colors.
Lovely pictures and a beautiful blog!
So gorgeous, Debbie! Yes, I would be singing "Majesty" right there with you! I love how God paints His glory all around us in different ways for us to behold...if we will just open our eyes and enjoy! We don't get quite the same kind of beauty here in Florida in the fall, but there are many subtle changes that are beautiful in their own way if we just take the time to notice. I try to do just that...and am watching every day. Unto Jesus, be all glory, power and praise!!!
Hi, Debbie! Thank you for swinging by my blog and leaving the loveliest of comments. I have thoroughly enjoyed the glamorous autumn colors on your blog post! I cannot even imagine - CO is so different from Florida, where Autumn never comes! Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos! hugs, de
Hello Dear lady, your autumn leaves are so pretty,and this song is perfect, I dearly love singing it at the top of my voice. It used to be our doxology at the beginning of our church service, it always set the tone for worship.
The photo of you and your dh is so lovely, a beautiful couple indeed !
Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comment, I haven't found mush time for blogging lately as we are preparing for my dh's knee surgery in November.
I would so appreciate your prayers so much.
Blessings,
Sue
What beautiful fall colors! You and hubby look great, Debbie. Thanks for visiting me, apologies for not getting around to visit you...school is keeping me very busy, sigh. smiles
