Glory to God in the Highest

I'm having a most fruitful and interesting time in Athens, Ohio , which is a lovely university town nestled in wooded hills that are just beginning to turn but this piece from our local Colorado Springs Gazette reminds me of what I am missing: the almost indescribable glory of the aspens at their height.

The closest thing to the light of the Beatific Vision that I expect to experience in my earthly lifetime.

Enjoy.
