Autumn leaves, clinging on, it's how I feel!
The snow and winds have not come yet, they still cling to the trees. It's so beautiful.
Then by the main river at Frankfurt, different trees, most are bare now. A few of these leaves on these equally beautiful trees hangon still.
I see so much beauty here in nature and the people. It makes clinging to life like an Autumn leaf a joy.
As I gaze at the trees and leaves I ask myself how many more autums ?
For the forest it's countless , for me its a mystery I leave to God.
Hugs,
Pete

Thank you for your post Pete.
Do you have a web or blog site or facebook site where you post those photos?
I would love to see what you see.
Prayers going out for you brother.
may you have many more times! Many more.
are almost gone. A couple of weeks ago, they were in all of their glory. Reds, yellow, oranges..so beautiful. We drove up to Mt. Cheaha and it was stunning. I found myself wondering if this one was the last Robert would see....
Hugs to you Pete

Beautiful, Pete
That was awesome! Being you're from Australia, I'm curious if the Fall Foliage is something you don't see a lot? We had a very dry year here in Northeast Kansas so we thought it would be a bad "color" year for the foliage but it ended up being spectacular. And we went to the Colorado Rockies in late September and the colors were fantastic. Glad you're able to enjoy the beauty, and thanks for sharing with us. Dan0 -
What a beautiful image!
What a beautiful image! Fall is beautiful where I live and I always enjoy the tapestry of color that is the hills. Last year, while on leave from work, I walked in the woods during the winter and fell in love with the bare trees, their individuality apparent. Pete, go find a bare tree with roots exposed and stand on those roots to ground you, connect you through this journey. Just an image I'm sending you. We are so blessed for what trees bring us. Light and love to you.

I used to live in Birmingham and at one time worked in Anniston, so I know where Cheaha is. It's really pretty up there.

thanks dear friends
to share whats in our heart is the best best medicine, at for me at this time.
I simply pray that our lives are constantly enriched either, by stunning autumn leaves, by new pairs of shoes, the hugs of our friends or the sparkle of candle light in a lovers eyes.
in its essence each day is a brave and exciting journey for me. tomorrow I leave tomorrow.
hugs,
Pete
ps the early morning twilight fog shrouds the black forest in mystery, it dissapates as the sun riss. it seemed to cling in the mountsin valleys like the autumn leaves. I saw this spectacular dawn display and had a few tears as i did the 2 hour drive from my fiends place to the clinic for my 8am hyperthermia.0 -

the loneliness is profound, but i have myself and god to love and lots to be grateful for.
how long ? I am optimistic so i say I may come home for school holidays and xmas. If the peace and beauty of the black forest and the treatments here are a miraclous cure then I am doubltful i would return to me old life.

Pete

the colorado rockies, now thats a place i would love to see. maybe their are no "bad color year" , expectations have a way of devaluing our presnt experience.
as an aussie in sydney i have never seen the forest effect like here in the black forest.

I was wondering the same thing .....
natural beauty provokes this repsonse, which ultimately i am grateful for.
but all we do is live today well, and tomorrow will have to sort itself out. It always does, alas weather we are here or not this beautiful big ball keeps spinning and the autum leave fall from Cheaha to Hallwangem to Sydney.

Good Morning Pete,
Just wanted to send a short note and let you know I pray for you every day, I speak your name to the Lord above as I walk. I also pray for many others here by name. I pray for healing, grace and mercy. Continue to believe Pete and keep your chin up my friend.
