Beautiful Leaves

It's the season of leaves changing color in our eastern Ontario community...

Arguably the most beautiful time of the year!

As I admire the different trees - and vines - in the neighborhood, I realize that they need sunlight shining on them to look spectacular...

Why?!

They can look lovely on a cloudy day...

Are they transparent - like stained glass, that lets the light through?!

How is it that they simply GLOW in the sunlight?!
