thanksgiving still on my mind

I'm working on the music for the first Sunday of Advent. But "The God of Harvest Praise" is still running through my mind. When I exited the church campus the other day, the sunshine on this stand of ornamental grass stopped me. I grabbed the camera. Can you tell where I was standing for this shot?

autumn worship

One of the great features of the Zion campus is the barn (see pic). This Sunday, Oct. 26, there will be some autumnal colors in the leaves around it.

Maybe its the agriculture in my family background, maybe it's Americana. I don't know for sure. But autumn draws me to barns and to anthems such as the one the choir is doing this Sunday, "Look at the world," by Rutter.
