Marveling at contrasts

The crab apple tree in my front yard is laden with a large crop this year.  In fact the branches are bowing under the weight of the apples.  I've enjoyed watching the apples grow from tiny little green orbs, no bigger than the end of a pencil, to mini versions of a Gala apple.  Honestly, I'm not sure what species of crab apple this tree is, but it produces some healthy crab apples.  I'm guessing they are 1-1 1/2 inches in diameter.  It's fun to watch the squirrels try to cross the power line with a crab apple clamped in their little teeth.  I've found more than a few in my yard with tiny little bite marks in them.  As the temperatures get cooler at night, the apples are turning a vibrant red which contrasts greatly with the dark green leaves.  In the cool breeze of the day when the leaves are being blown around, there are times more red peaks out from under the canopy and I stand in awe and amazement.  Something so simple and yet so beautiful at the same time.  Then I start to admire other things in my yard, such as the purple Bee Balm and the yellow Shasta Daisies.  Thank you God for your beautiful creation and the fact that you provided this "contrasts of color" moment to remind me of your presence today.  I marvel at your handiwork.
