I'm taking this chilly, sunny window Steemit session to share a bit of nature's beauty
for the ColorfulPhotography challenge by Hive account@juliank.

"Rolling Out the Red Carpet"

These leaves are from our Bradford Pear Tree.
Every year in the spring this tree blossoms into life with the most delicate flower,
covering the branches of this round topped tree like a snowball floating in the breeze.

And no matter the climate conditions or what all the other trees do in the autumn,
these trees explode in an extremely potent display of fiery red, yellow and orange,
a breathtaking site that will move you to believe in the infinite realms of the universe!!!

And then they fall to the ground as a rolled out red carpet
leading from our house to the garden at the Hive account@gardenofeden.
They decompose back to the ground to recondition the soil,
which nurtures the bugs, the plants, the birds...and us,
bringing life back to the trees which provide oxygen in the air we breathe!
