Description

Spectacular groves of quaking aspen (Poplus tremuloides) display their golden glow in the eastern Sierra Nevada foothills along June Lake Loop, Inyo National Forest in October 2017.

Living in the mostly evergreen San Francisco Bay Area, this is my very first time seeing such autumn beauty along the eastern side of California.

The colors in this uncropped photo are unedited, straight out of camera to show how amazing they looked when I visited.

As I was praying about what to write (autumn 2017), I felt the Holy Spirit quicken to my heart the message that many of us including here in America are given a window of time, “golden years” of the Heavenly Father’s exceptional grace and abundance. Now is the time to seize this opportunity and fulfill our God-given callings and destiny.

Soon, the brilliant golden tones and dark greens in this photo will be replaced with layers of fresh snow as winter approaches, closing the road for the season.

God often illustrates life lessons in nature. I am reminded of the precious words of Yeshua Jesus echoing down the corridor of time to the urgency of the present:: “We must do the work of the One who sent Me, so long as it is day! Night is coming when no one can work” (see John 9:4).

May we take heed and honor the words of the Good Book… this is lively living!

Have a terrific day… and a beautiful forever!

Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ ב ס " ד ] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".

The "Fine Art America" watermark in the full resolution preview will not show in the final print/product purchased.
