The World in Technicolor

By: Veronica Leighton

 

From our windows and small porch (size 5 x 7 ft), spectacular colors of fall are displayed that brighten our lives and the whole world. I remember my favorite childhood terminology of ”technicolor” as I look outside upon waking up. Autumn or Fall is a beautiful season and it is here!

We feel and see the pleasures, even taste, the beauty around us, as the green leaves turn into golden glow from wildflowers to autumn grasses; how lovely to realize how nature finds a way to rebound, endure, and die, and become alive again. I ask myself, “Is this sense of nature appreciation brought about by the lockdown or freedom-less life that we have recently experienced, and which others are still experiencing in some parts of the country and/ or the world”?

This will just be a brief Publisher’s Note this time as I want to regale you and share with you the nature’s technicolor around me with a few pictures that I snapped for the memories. The potted ripened and colorful pepper plants and harvests of my Irog’s pepper varieties are indescribably beautiful. (Reminder to some readers who called last month, the Via Times giveaway pepper seeds of labuyo, tabasco, tipin and carolina reaper are now ready for pick up. Please call us).

Will be missing the exciting summer visits of my friends, the white dove and white butterfly, though. Till next year!
