Nature Never Goes Out of Style
Every fall we revel in the beauty of the fall colors. However, it is not always obvious to us what it meant.?Native American legend has it that celestial hunters slew the Great Bear Autumn and the spilled blood turned the leaves red. The yellow of fall came from the fat splattering out of the kettle as the hunters cooked their prize.?We know today that the changes are the result of chemical processes taking place in the tree as the growing season ends. The mixture of red, purple, orange and yellow is the result of chemical processes that take place in the tree as the seasons change from summer to winter.?
Whether or not we realize or not, different color evokes different emotions in us. Product designers understand the subtle way colors influence people and they use it to influence people's emotions and alter people's moods. After all color is such an important part of our world, we might as well start paying attention to it.
I thought I would share a few photos of the beautiful fall colors.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING THROUGH AWAKENING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
2 年Thanks for the article. But, MOTHER NATURE from an amplified perception and version at all times, isn't it the FEMENINE manifestation of REALITY of our entire UNIVERSE? Have we ignored us all, that within our own so called HUMAN KINGDOM, OUR FIRST BODY, was the body of our PHYSICAL MOTHER? Who contributed to our GROWTH in every aspect? Isn't the same to all OTHER KINGDOMS of Mother Nature? ANIMAL KINGDOM, VEGETAL, MARINE, SPACE, MINERAL, ??? THERE WAS ALWAYS A mother, "A loving Mother", who really CARED about us and them all? ISN'T A P[ERFECT MANIFESTATION OF TRUE-LOVE? The word GOD, in Latin language is "DEUS" WHICH MEANS IN SPANISH and any other languages, it means DOS = TWO, OR FATHER AND MOTHER, MALE AND FEMALE, who ONLY CONTRIBUTE TOGETHER TO the mysteries of AWAKENING and DEVELOPING "LIFE IN EVERY ASPECT? Time to meditate about it. Sincerely and respectfully: www.rickyradio.com JIM ROSS
