The late afternoon light, the clouds, the color sprinkled on the mountainside - this is fall to me.
Soon, too soon, the leaves will color and fall. There is a significant symbolism in the seasons, like there is in all of creation. From the scriptures, "...this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God" (Alma 34:32) and "in an hour when ye think not the summer shall be past, and the harvest ended, and your souls not saved." Doctrine & Covenants 45:2 (see also Jeremiah 8:19-20).
Where most of us live, the tilt of the earth relative to the sun causes the sunlight to strike earth at an angle. This simple fact creates dramatic and beautiful effects! We call it autumn and winter.
