The Ultimate Pallet

First of all, I think I misspelled "pallet".  What I am referring to is the artist's tool for mixing paints.  Is it spelled like that?

As I'm writing this, I'm overlooking a spectacular sunset waiting to happen.  The sun is still shining fully on the opposite side of the lake but our yard is already in shadows.  Because of this difference in lighting, I am seeing the most tremendous colours.  There must be 23 different shades of green in our yard alone, never mind the distant hills.  The cliffs across the lake, which are usually a grey-ish brown colour, are now a brilliant gold with shades of every colour of the spectrum.  Throw into this the splashes of colour from the flowers and shrubs and you have a virtual artist's paintbox which has exploded, creating this landscape just for me tonight. 

I'm always amazed when I hear that people think nature happened by chance.  No one but an all powerful God could have created all these colours and majesty.  Thank-you for this brilliant present tonight, God!  A.
