Fall...how how does that word apply to this burst of color right before dormancy? I found the word 'autumn' over at Wikipedia, but not the word 'fall'. Already the earth is preparing to rest. Laying aside its glory for a while.

'The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork, Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge..'

Psalms 19, verses 1 & 2
