Subtle but magical

I absolutely love living in the midst of a forest of magical, golden oak trees at this magical, golden time of year.

Of course, I’ve been admiring dramatic red, orange, and yellow foliage for weeks. But there’s something about the more subtle, muted gold of the oak trees that really does it for me.

Especially since there are so many of them here, so I end up feeling surrounded by golden magic.

At any rate, this was my view as I went to get into my car shortly before sunset this evening.

Glorious.

Autumn’s golden glory

I appreciate autumn leaves of all types and colors, but I do believe what I love the most is when the oak leaves turn golden.

Because oak trees predominate in the area where we live, I start to feel like I’m living in a beautiful golden dream.
