I think Nature has it all wrong... BACKWARDS!

I think that the leaves on the trees should be red, orange, yellow, and brown all summer long. Then when falls arrives the leaves should turn green and then fall to the earth!

Similarly, we should all be born old and wise... then grow young, dumb, and then die!

P.S. Sometimes when we say something with "Tongue in Cheek" we end up with "Foot in Mouth"!

Mother Nature is cruel. First comes the test, and then the answers!

very true.. "The Golden Years" yeah the are golden alright all that gold goes into Dr's visits, health aides, etc.. We should be able to retire at age 40 enjoy life before everything starts falling apart at age 50.. I twisted my foot (torn ligaments) the latter part of May and it is still not healed.. Can't walk for long periods nor can I bend down easily,my toes won't bend, hard to take pictures this way...

Nothing worse than when your muscles hurt and you can't blame it on working or playing too hard the day before.
It's times like that, when I'm reminded of the dying words of Sir Isaac Newton . . .

There is No gravity, the Earth just sucks.


But remember, as long as you have a youthful spirit, you never really grow old . . . .

Forever Young
Forever Young...

Just goes to show you that you can get it wrong at any age - I think that saying is, "first the test and then the lessons."

Nature is a perfect creation with rules for engagement by its participants. Nature is dynamic but sometimes dangerous....say gravity, for instance. We conquer what we do not understand by gaining knowledge through experience. If leaves were red and flowers were green, what would a rainbow look like?

There is no "if" when the creation is perfect, including the observer.

Since color blindness is a reality in observation, sight is real to the observer. Nature does not have it backwards, but the human mind often appears backward in its expectations!

Well, many thanks for straightening us all out on that. I can't wait to see what you'll enlighten us with next.
